Woodturning is an ancient craft. Using a lathe to process wood into various items is the most basic process in wood processing. Its cutting quality impacts subsequent processes such as gluing, splicing, surface decoration, etc. Therefore, wood product processing plants must have professional cutting equipment with good cutting quality, easy operation, and labor saving.
The woodturning will be affected by the wood’s mechanical properties, geometry, tool quality, and cutting method. It is also closely related to the relative movement between the tool and the wood, the cutting mechanism, and the cutting force.
1. Lathe: A Lathe is a multifunctional equipment, an industrial machine suitable for professionals in the factory to process wood.
2. Carpenters can also use various chisels to process wood. They come in many shapes and sizes but remember to wear protective equipment when operating this equipment to avoid dust and flying chips.
We understand the main tools, so what are the types of wood turning, mainly divided into spindle turning, panel turning and multi-axis turning, and what products are they suitable for processing?
1. spindle turning is mainly used to shape wood along the axis to make items such as table legs and spindles. It is often used to produce slender wood parts.
2. panel turning is used to make bowls, plates, etc. During processing, the wood is installed perpendicular to the lathe’s axis, which can create a wide and flat surface.
3. multi-axis turning is a more advanced technology that can create unique artistic shapes by turning wood on different axes. It is often used to produce wooden decorative parts with complex designs.
Although we can use tools to process wood in various ways to make the items we like, to ensure the quality of these items, the selection of wood before production is also very important because each wood has different characteristics. For example, the characteristics of hardwood are durability and beauty.
Green wood VS dry wood
Green wood contains moisture, is easier to turn, and cuts more smoothly. However, it may bend when it dries. On the other hand, dry wood is more stable but needs to be processed with sharper tools.
