Lathe Power for Job Shops

Most shops don’t just mill—they turn, too.
BobCAD-CAM’s lathe module brings the same smart automation and clear visualization you rely on for milling, streamlining roughing, finishing, and chip control before the first cut is made.

Feature Highlights

  • Compensation Toolpath – Follows part shape, keeps tool engaged, reduces cycle time.
  • Chip‑Brake – Break long chips on demand; safer runs, better finishes.
  • Stock Trim – Tell BobCAD the exact starting stock and it never cuts air.
  • Full Collision Check & Simulation – Spot insert or holder crashes virtually, not on the spindle.
