Shop Work: Making a DIY CNC Lathe

Fisher’s Shop

I don't have a lathe in my shop and, on occasion, I've needed to create some round pieces. Up until now, I've had to utilize my belt sander to make some imperfect shaped pieces for my projects. What I really needed was a way to consistently and perfectly create a round shape. And since there's nothing more consistent than a CNC, I designed and built a lathe that works with the machine! In this video you'll see my trial and error as I end up creating a simple drill-powered lathe for my CNC that produces amazing results!
