| 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: no CNC control or software interface of any kind is included. The bundled motor (1750 RPM nominal) drives the four-step 2L belt transmission; any additional speed regulation relies on an external inverter chosen by the user. |
