This paper introduces recently designed desktop sized NC lathe system and its components. The machine is designed for precision turning of circular parts with 0.5 ~ 20 ㎜ in diameter and length less than 50 mm, with minimum space usage. In this study, it is aimed to achieve high accuracy of the movements and good rigidity of the machine with practical machine, and the components such as main machine structure, spindle and XZ stage were designed to support these performances. The manufactured system has been evaluated for its performances, and some machining examples are shown.
