2 axis CNC Wood Lathe

Post by abactech »

Hello,

I am upgrading my wood lathe to a CNC lathe 2 axis using Mach3 software to control it.
The purpose is to produce very simple profile chair leg, no engraving.

Actualy i use VCarve Desktop 9.5 and i dont know how to use it for 2 axis CNC lathe
Is it possible to do it with VCarve Desktop or shoul'd i use Aspire?

Is there any tutorial to help to use a vectorized leg profile to generate toolpath for 2 axis lathe ?

Many thanks
Frédéric
