Software notes The machine ships with Mach 3, the most widely used CNC control software for hobbyist and semi-professional Windows-based setups. The integrated DISP (Digital Index Signal Processor) handles G-code threading via a spindle index signal. Mach 3 is compatible with most standard CAM post-processors and does not require an internet connection to operate. The lathe is entirely manual with no software interface or CNC control. The unit ships with pulleys, a six-step 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.
