| Software notes | The system includes a PC running Ubuntu Linux with LinuxCNC pre-installed, along with a 4-axis driver board built into the computer chassis. A CD with complete instructions and utilities to convert CAD files and TrueType fonts into G-code is included. The operator must supply an external monitor; keyboard and mouse are provided. LinuxCNC is an open-source CNC control package running real-time on the Linux kernel and is compatible with standard G-code formats. | The lathe is entirely manual and includes no drive components: motor, pulleys and power feed must be sourced separately. No software interface or CNC control is provided. |
