CNC Woodworking Lathe for Table Leg Making

CNC Woodworking Lathe for Table Leg Making What Are the Differences Between 3-axis and 4 Axis CNC Wood Lathe? • The 3-axis and 4-axis we are talking here refer to the maximum number of simultaneous axes of the wood lathe. Therefore, 4-axis is capable of four axes simultaneous during processing; while, 3-axis can be only three axes simultaneous. • The 4-axis turning lathe has an independent stepping motor behind the electric spindle, which enables the spindle to move up and down (as shown on the left of the picture given below); 3-axis doesn’t have this stepper (on the right). • Accordingly, the controller of the two are different. 4-axis needs to be equipped with 4-axis simultaneous controller, while 3-axis only needs to be equipped with a 3-axis type. • 4 axes can make the spindle move up and down, but 3 axes cannot. Based on this, 4-axis is capable of engraving on a plain surface just like a cnc wood router.
