Re: CNC Lathes

Does you school have any experience or back ground in machining? I will start with that question before I can offer any advice.


A good basic lathe can make anything FRC related just fine. This coming from school that has a CNC lathe.

With any type of machine there are extra costs in tooling and basic equipment. So it really is not just the cost of machine itself.
