Why a Fully Automatic CNC Wood Lathe is the Best Choice
1. Automatic Feeding for Higher Productivity
The machine includes an automatic hopper-feed system that loads and unloads wood blanks without manual intervention. This dramatically improves production efficiency and reduces operator workload.
2. Multi-Function Turning + Carving
Equipped with one turning cutter head and one engraving/broaching spindle, this CNC wood lathe can perform:
- Straight turning
- Taper turning
- Grooving / fluting
- Spiral / twist turning
- 2D/3D carving & decorative profiling
This makes it suitable for a wide range of wood turning applications.
3. Precision Servo Drive System
A high-torque AC servo motor drives the rotary axis to deliver stable rotation, higher accuracy, and better finish quality compared to conventional 3-phase motors.
4. Strong Cast-Iron Machine Body
The machine frame is made from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring excellent rigidity and vibration resistance. This helps produce smoother surfaces and reduces tool wear.
5. Simple Operation with Handheld Controller
The controller supports DXF, G-code, and vector files exported from common CAD/CAM software. No external computer is needed, making the machine easy to operate.

How the CNC Wood Lathe Works
Design
Use CAD/CAM software to create the shape. Export as DXF or G-code.Load the File
Transfer the file to the handheld controller via USB.Set Zero Point & Parameters
Configure cutting depth, spindle speed, and turning speed.Start Automatic Cycle
The machine will:
- Automatically feed a wood blank
- Complete rough turning, finish turning, grooving, and carving
- Discharge the finished part
- Load the next blank
This closed-loop process allows continuous production with minimal manual participation.
Key Benefits
Saves Labor & Increases Output
Automatic loading reduces workforce requirements and boosts productivity.
Ensures Consistent Quality
Servo-driven rotation and cast-iron rigidity ensure uniform results on every piece.
Supports Many Turning Styles
The carving spindle allows decorative turning, engraving, and profiling.
Lower Cost Per Part
High-speed production reduces manufacturing costs and improves profitability.
Perfect for Mass Production
Ideal where hundreds or thousands of parts need to be made daily.
Conclusion
A fully automatic CNC wood lathe provides an efficient, stable, and reliable solution for producing furniture legs, stair spindles, columns, and various turned wood components. With its automatic feeding system, multi-function turning and carving abilities, and stable servo-driven performance, it is the perfect machine for workshops that want to upgrade production capacity and reduce labor costs.
