One-of-a-Kind Set of Furniture Legs

I have been asked to create a base for a small chest of drawers. This particular base is to have turned legs. I thought I would share the process of creating a turned piece on my CNC machine.

I use my CAD/CAM software to design and create the necessary vectors and toolpaths for machining –

I then create a 3D simulation of the piece for review –

I thought you would find it interesting to see what the toolpaths look like. This is an image of the toolpath for roughing-out the turned leg –

This image represents the toolpath for machining the leg –

Here is the toolpath for machining the flutes, something that cannot be done on a traditional lathe –

Here is a finished cabinet leg still in the machine –

What can I turn for you?
