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 light oil or cutting fluid can be used for this purpose.

5. Begin cutting: Start the lathe and slowly move the cutting tool towards the workpiece. Use a light feed rate to avoid chatter and vibration. Take small cuts and check the surface finish frequently. Adjust the cutting tool as necessary to achieve the desired finish.

6. Finish the part: Once the desired shape and finish have been achieved, stop the lathe and remove the part. Deburr and clean the part as necessary.

Overall, CNC Machining Copper on a lathe machine requires careful attention to cutting tool selection, speed, tool height, lubrication, and feed rate. With proper technique, high-quality copper parts can be produced with a smooth finish and tight tolerances.
