One-line value prop: Smooth, accurate turning of balusters, columns, knobs, and custom profiles from DXF or templates—with guided setup, clean rough/finish passes, and safe spindle control.
Who uses it: Furniture and millwork shops, stair & railing makers, architectural décor, instrument and craft manufacturers, OEM woodworking lines.
Works with: 2-axis CNC wood lathes with a powered spindle (VFD) and linear X (radial) / Z (along bed) slides, single toolpost or dual tools.
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: DXF profiles (revolve), standard G-code, built-in bead/cove/taper templates
X–Z slides track along a rotating workpiece; configurable work envelope, homing and soft limits for repeatable setups.
Supports chuck + tailstock (live center) with prompts; optional steady rest / follower support.
Fast origin tools (Home, X0, Z0) and per-axis jog (X±, Z±) for quick alignment to a hard stop or part face.
Big grid preview with red work boundary and live crosshair.
Absolute X/Z position boxes and Velocity (mm/s) display.
Home / GoHome buttons; numeric X0 / Z0 setters for zeroing.
V (mm/s) per-axis feed boxes and L (mm) step boxes for jog/increment moves.
Run / Pause ⏸ / Reset ⬛ controls and Speed 100% override slider.
Spindle panel with RPM setpoint (e.g., 3600) and ramp via slider.
E-stop chain and axis status indicators (X/Z LEDs).
Open your DXF/G-code and preview the revolved path on the grid.
Use V (mm/s) and L (mm) to set feed and step increments; set X0/Z0 directly from the right-hand panel.
Start the Spindle, then Run; adjust with the Speed % override.
Pause/Resume safely at any time; Reset returns control for re-zero or tool checks.
Status bar shows operation states (e.g., Home Done Z,X).
DXF profile import (revolved) with on-screen preview
Simple, operator-friendly zeroing and jog with numeric steps
Spindle RPM setpoint with real-time override
Safe Run/Pause/Reset, Home/GoHome, and soft-limit handling
Job logging (time, stops/alarms, notes) for repeatability
Home X & Z, set X0/Z0.
Open DXF/G-code; verify preview.
Set feeds (V) and steps (L); set spindle RPM.
Run; adjust with Speed %; use Pause/Reset for checks.
Save notes/time for repeat jobs.
Need rotary control on your lathe? Choose XZA Lathe—adds A-axis indexing/rotation synchronized with X–Z for helical cuts, fluting, and multi-face features.
Seamlessly load and execute DXF files without the need for G-code conversion — streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Select specific parts from complex drawings and customize cutting order with intuitive control over toolpath sequencing.
Scale, rotate, and mirror parts directly within the interface — with live toolpath previews to ensure precision.
Manually drag and drop parts onto your material sheet to accommodate irregular shapes, pre-cut stock, or remnant reuse.
Set up to three independent pause points — before the cut, during the cut, and after the cut — for manual checks or operational adjustments.
Execute toolpaths in reverse to minimize material warping or adjust final exit points based on design needs.
Perform a complete motion test without activating the torch. Ideal for verifying the toolpath before live cutting.
Real-time 3D view of the revolved part so operators can confirm shape and dimensions—and spot issues—before cutting.
Choose forward, backward, or both (zig-zag) passes to match your setup and optimize cycle time and finish.
