| Software notes | The lathe ships as 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 specific configuration is entirely up to the user. | The lathe is entirely manual and includes no drive components: motor, pulleys and power feed must be sourced separately. No software interface or CNC control is provided. |
