Software notes The machine ships with a Mach 3 license, the most widely used CNC control software in the maker and prototyping segment. The Microproto Systems DSLS controller handles closed-loop operation, and the Digital Index Signal Processor (DISP) enables single-point threading. No cloud connectivity or software subscription is required. The lathe is entirely manual with no software interface or CNC control. The unit ships with pulleys, a four-step 2L belt and the power feed gearbox, but without a motor: the user must source a compatible 1750 RPM motor and, if needed, an external inverter for speed regulation.
