Introduction

YORNEW Desktop/Compact CNC Lathe

Desktop CNC machines are smaller versions of their industrial counterparts, and these machines are designed to offer the same power and precision in a more comprehensive package. That makes desktop or benchtop machines ideal for small machine shops or even home workshops, where CNC precision can be applied to smaller workpieces.
YORNEW bench lathes are the ultimate training machines for schools and technical colleges, bench lathes are perfect for teaching the basic principles of programming and operating CNC lathes. It is designed to cut materials such as steel, brass, aluminum alloy, etc., and is also ideal for hobbyists and benchtop mechanics.

What can I make with a desktop CNC lathe?

Desktop CNC lathes are great for learning how to apply basic CNC machining principles to the world of parts manufacturing. You can learn and apply the same CNC commands used in big industrial CNC machines with a CNC desktop lathe. Operating a desktop lathe is a great way to learn the basics of g-code, CNC programming, and even Computer Assisted Design (CAD) and Computer Assisted Machining (CAM) programs.

Skilled operators can craft nearly anything on a high-quality CNC lathe. That includes custom replacement parts for a classic car, threaded screws or custom bolts, or just basic cylinders or shafts.

What are the benefits of a desktop CNC lathe?

Greater accuracy and precision on smaller parts: Smaller machines are often better suited for more delicate or detailed machining. With benchtop lathes, you can achieve precision and accuracy on smaller parts while maintaining control.
Compact but powerful package: Many machinists don’t require a full-sized industrial lathe, but they need something to provide the necessary machining precision without taking up half their workspace.
Easy to learn: Learning to use a benchtop CNC lathe is getting easier all the time. While no CNC lathe is exactly simple, enhancements like CAD/CAM and conversational language have made CNC lathes quite a bit easier to learn.
Easy to use: CNC machines don’t require a lot of human intervention once the programming code has been loaded. The operator needs to change the workpiece, check a few dimensions, replace cutting inserts, and make any other needed tooling changes.
Budget-friendly: Industrial CNC lathes can be extremely expensive, with a single machine running into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Desktop CNC lathes are available from reliable manufacturers like CNC Masters for far less.
Smaller footprint: Desktop CNC machines don’t require as much space, and they are the ideal solution for smaller companies that don’t have a lot of room but still require the features of a CNC machine.
Safer operation: CNC machines are safer than manual machines because the operator is not as close to the machining and might even be behind a guard or transparent safety door.
