I don't have a lathe in my shop and, on occasion, I've needed to create some round pieces. Up until now, I've had to utilize my belt sander to make some imperfect shaped pieces for my projects. What I really needed was a way to consistently and perfectly create a round shape. And since there's nothing more consistent than a CNC, I designed and built a lathe that works with the machine! This is an easy-to-build shop jig made from 3/4” plywood, simple hardware, and utilizes your drill to spin the stock. With this CNC lathe, I can now easily make absolutely identical little spindles and pieces on the CNC.
