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: no CNC control or software interface of any kind is included. The bundled motor (1750 RPM nominal) drives the four-step 2L belt transmission; any additional speed regulation relies on an external inverter chosen by the user.
