OEM Copper Lathe Machining Parts 

How does lathe machine copper machining parts? To machine CNC copper parts on a lathe machine, the following steps are generally followed: 1. Select the appropriate cutting tool: The cutting tool should be made of high-speed steel or carbide. The tool should be sharp and have a positive rake angle to minimize the cutting force and produce a smooth finish. 2. Set the lathe speed: The speed of the lathe should be set according to the diameter of the workpiece and the type of cutting tool being used. A slower speed is recommended for larger-diameter workpieces to avoid vibration and chatter. 3. Set the tool height: The cutting tool should be set at the centerline of the workpiece to ensure proper cutting and avoid chatter. The tool should be adjusted to achieve the desired depth of cut. 4. Lubricate the workpiece: Copper can be a sticky material, so it is important to lubricate the workpiece to prevent it from sticking to the cutting tool. A li…
