Review on 7 Mistakes to Avoid While Using CNC

The introduction of CNC lathes has been nothing short of a blessing for the machine shops providing high precision parts. But, even with the computer in place, there is a host of instructions that only their manual counterparts can set (for now, we dont know what lies in the future, do we?). And while machines (rather computers) may make mistakes, this field is undeniably ruled by humans.

So, heres the list of most common mistakes even an expert CNCer can make while working with a CNC lathe:

1) A cutting tool is set to the wrong height
2) Minimum knowledge of carriage movement
3) Going too slow
4) A loose tailstock
5) Improper Maintenance
6) Ignoring Safety

Now when you are aware of the small but significant mistakes one is prone to make while using CNC lathes, just make sure you dont!
