The LatheEngraver isn't about replacing the hand-turned aesthetic; it’s about enhancing it. This multi-functional tool can bolt directly onto your existing lathe or run on a standalone platform. Unlike standard 3-axis CNCs, the LatheEngraver’s 4-axis design allows it to follow the natural profile of your work, ensuring consistent depth and detail on curved surfaces.

A Digital Tool for the Traditional Turner

During this session, Paul will showcase how his customized Gcode software simplifies complex designs, turning technical programming into a straightforward creative process. Key features to be demonstrated include:

• Pewa & Inlays: Watch how to cut perfect pockets for butterfly patches and custom inlays.
• Surface Embellishment: See the machine in action as it creates precise flutes, facets, and scallops.
• Precision Threading: Discover how the LatheEngraver functions as a high-accuracy threading jig.
• The Virtual Rose Engine: Experience the latest addition—a suite of ornamental functions that transform the machine into a fully functional rose engine lathe for intricate, traditional patterns.
