CNC Lathe Training 1:

1)

  • Fit the chuck key into the chuck and rotate until the chuck is wide enough to accept your 1" piece of stock.
  • Take the stop tool and ensure that you have a minimum of 3" of stock sticking out of the chuck.
  • Tighten up the chuck with an extra tug, spin the chuck to make sure that the stock is properly secured.
  • Take the chuck key and put it on the workbench (it's very dangerous to leave them unaccounted for)

2)

  • Remove whatever tool is in the quick change tool post holder and place it on the workbench
  • Blow compressed air onto the empty holder to clear all chips and debris
  • Load tool 1 (RH turning tool) into the tool holder and secure the tool
  • In the computer, click the "main" tab and type in "T01" into the text box that faintly reads "MDI". This informs the lathe that it is cutting with tool 1.
