About a year ago, we, Damien Dando & Luc Dando, have started the project of designing and building a CNC Lathe Turning on our spare time.
My father, Luc Dando, is doing all mechanics related parts and I, Damien Dando, do all electronics and control system parts.
CNC machine control is done with the opensource software Machinekit.
This video shows the current progress of our project.
Technical characteristics:
– 8 positions automatic tool changer
– Z axis travel: 300mm
– X axis travel: 150mm
– Spindle power: 3kW
