| Software notes | The lathe ships CNC-ready: NEMA 23 motor mounts and ball screws on both X and Z axes are factory-installed, but axis motors, drivers, control box, and software are not included and must be sourced separately. Compatible with common motion-control platforms such as Mach3, Mach4, and LinuxCNC. The ER16 spindle accepts collets up to 3/8 in. (9.5 mm), compatible with the standard ER16 series. | The lathe is entirely manual: no CNC control or software interface of any kind is included. The bundled motor drives the six-step V-belt transmission (525–5200 RPM); any additional speed regulation relies on an external inverter chosen by the user. |
