| Software notes | The 3029MAN is a fully manual lathe with no CNC control or software interface. Spindle speed is selected mechanically via a multi-step belt drive across four ranges (435–1800 RPM); feeds are hand-operated through lead screws fitted with friction-adjustable micrometer dials graduated at 0.001-inch increments. | The 4019CREXT ships without a controller or software: the control system integration is entirely the user's responsibility. The included NEMA 23 motor mounts simplify pairing with standard stepper drivers. The most common solutions in the Taig ecosystem are Mach3, Mach4, and LinuxCNC; the choice depends on the control hardware selected. |
