| 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 4029CR ships without a controller or software: the control system integration is entirely the user's responsibility. It is compatible with common solutions in the Taig and DIY builder ecosystem, including Mach3, Mach4, and LinuxCNC, paired with NEMA 23 motor drivers (motor mounts are included). Software choice depends entirely on the control hardware selected. |
