| Software notes | The machine ships with a Mach 3 license, the Windows-based CAM/control software commonly used on CNC lathes and mills in this class. Mach 3 requires a PC with a parallel (LPT) port or a compatible motion control card; it is not compatible with macOS or Linux. A separate CAM application (e.g. Fusion 360, BobCAD) is needed to generate G-code. | The L1015 is a fully manual lathe in its base configuration: no CNC control or software interface is included. Speed control depends entirely on the motor chosen by the user, which can be connected to any inverter or speed controller compatible with the included six-step V-belt pulley. |
