| Software notes | The machine ships without axis motors, control box or software. Community-documented compatibility with Mach3, Mach4 and LinuxCNC is extensive; NEMA 23 motor mounts come pre-installed. CNC threading requires a spindle index sensor, which is not included in the CR version. | 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. |
