Software notes 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. The lathe is entirely manual with no software interface or CNC control. The unit ships with pulleys, a four-step 2L belt and the power feed gearbox, but without a motor: the user must source a compatible 1750 RPM motor and, if needed, an external inverter for speed regulation.
