Would highly recommend getting the motion rails covered up. While the carriages do have "wipers" on them they aren't really made to be covered in wood chips. Looks awesome though.
hola chicos que buen diseño muy bien la idea, felicitaciones la verdad no podia creer que eran de irak me alegra mucho que hagan estas cosas tan utiles sigan creando buenisimo soy de Argentina saludos
software can be greatly improved to work in 2 directions if your matrix is organised in x lines of z points going from left to right take a line in the matrix z points ahead and multiply by minus1 You also can optimized the no cut zone by checking the Xdeepth before you launch the cut and rewrite a set of data if memorized biggest Xdeepth is smaller or equal the intended actual Xdeepth run if there is no more cut take the next matrix and add the current position This is very basic software that can save A LOT of time
This looks really awesome. Do you have any feedback from the tool to know when it is cutting and how much has been removed or do you rely on it following the given coordinates?
There is a fundamental problem with this approach. An Arduino Uno is being used, this has very limited memory. Which is perhaps why the turning is so rough - I can see the x axis moving in large steps instead of smoothly. Use a controller sending commands to the Uno in pieces - far better finish.

+Arduous Andotherous That's not a problem. I think, you don't need more memory for program, only for data. So why don't use for example serial ram on SPI bus or SD memory card? It's not expensive and you can still drive the lathe only with Arduino without computer connected...
Check out Arduino, GRBL, and Fusion 360. For hardware you'll want NEMA stepper motors, and some acme threaded rod to move the tool. For the lathe motor, you can use any induction motor, 1/3hp minimum
