LEAD Lathe
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1389472486)
I have been toying with the idea of making a 3 axis rotary CNC machine for awhile. I wanted to make it with off the shelf OpenBuilds parts so any one can replicate it and I felt the LEAD High Z Mod would be a good starting point.
Y table for LEAD Lathe - essentially a High Z Cbeam XL

I built the lathe as a dedicated rotary axis, but I soon realized I could have a back up CNC for very little expense.

Goliath - CNC + 3D printer Hybrid
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/295.jpg?t=0)
Mostly for Mill work, and FDM 3D printing (mostly Nylonx). I'm currently in the process of adding some hardware for a project requiring lathe work. I've included a solidworks 2014 pack and go for those of you interested in the build. if you need another file type, just let me know and i can try to accommodate. This is a scratch build (electronics and hardware)... see photos. Everything is pretty close to industrial quality... Electronics too. I got sick of other COTS designs breaking down
Desktop 4-Axis Nema 23
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1389472486)
This build is specific to a furniture design I am trying to bring to market. My first attempt to build a machine. I have looked at other build submissions to help me figure out where I would like to start. The workable volume should 36" W x 6" D x 6" T. The goal is to become more comfortable with the electronics side of machines I enjoy using and also lower the cost of my product by reducing man hours in the manufacturing process. Yay!
CNC Lathe Upgrade

So, not much here, as I'm still building, but I'm putting in the work.

CUT SMITH
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/286.jpg?t=0)
I am building a multi tool CNC. I plan to have a quick change tooling system that will accept Routers, oxy acetylene torch, Plasma torch. etc. there will be a water bed under the convertible router table / work bench. The inspiration to build this machine is from having a small garage and not a shop.

Fourth Axis Mill Prototype
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1376658449)
I really like the 4th axis I purchased a few years back, but when I went looking for it again the suppliers who once carried it no longer do. Anyone know who makes it? Center hole receives collets. I own a ShopSmith so I am using a 5/8th rod and can mount it's chucks onto this machine. Also I like the use of the skateboard wheels, they are adjustable and one could use more sets over a longer axis. The Sherline z-axis is not my first choice, I just had a spare.

A simple wood turning lathe.
Lathe 4" x 40"
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1389472486)
This is a lathe. I do not plan on making parts for NASA, but I want to be able to turn, face and bore things like wood, brass, aluminum and plastics.
