A small desktop CNC lathe is a machine tool used to process small workpieces. It has a desktop structure and a CNC control system. Here are some features and functions about small desktop CNC lathes:

1. Desktop structure: Small desktop CNC lathes usually adopt a desktop structure, with the workbench placed horizontally and the workpiece placed on the workbench for processing. This structure takes up little space and is suitable for use when space in the workplace is limited.

2. CNC control system: The lathe is equipped with a CNC control system, which can realize automated processing operations through pre-programmed processing programs. Operators can input processing parameters, processing paths and other information through the control system to achieve precise processing of the workpiece.

3. Miniaturized design: The small desktop CNC lathe has a compact design and simple structure, and is suitable for processing small workpieces, such as mold parts, precision parts, etc.

4. High-precision machining: Despite its small size, small desktop CNC lathes still have high machining accuracy and can achieve precise control of the size, shape and surface quality of workpieces.

5. Wide scope of application: Small desktop CNC lathes are suitable for processing small workpieces of various metal materials, such as aluminum alloy, copper, steel, etc., and are commonly used in mold manufacturing, precision machining and other fields.

6. Strong flexibility: Small desktop CNC lathes have strong processing flexibility and can be flexibly adjusted and customized according to different processing requirements and workpiece characteristics.

7. Easy operation: The CNC control system makes the operation of small desktop CNC lathes relatively simple. The operator only needs to input relevant parameters and instructions through the control interface to perform processing operations, without the need for complicated manual adjustments and operations.

In general, small desktop CNC lathes play an important role in the field of small workpiece processing. They have the advantages of high precision, flexibility, and easy operation, and can meet the needs of small workpiece processing in mold manufacturing, precision machining and other fields.
