| Software notes | The machine ships without axis motors, control electronics or software; the user is responsible for completing the drive system. The pre-installed NEMA 23 mounts are compatible with the main open-source and commercial CNC controllers, including LinuxCNC and Mach3. No cloud connectivity or subscription is required at any stage of operation. | The L1015 is a fully manual lathe in its base configuration: no CNC control or software interface is included.
