| 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 differences that matter
- Price: about 530 € against 505 € → the M1015 costs 25 € less.
- Base L1015: manual, no CNC, motor of your choice → speed depends on the motor and the inverter you connect.
Which one to choose
Choose Micro Lathe II L1015 if…
you want to pick the motor and speed control yourself: the base L1015 is manual, with no CNC or software, and speed depends on the motor you connect to an inverter or speed controller compatible with the six-step V-belt pulley. The trade-off: motor, inverter and wiring are extra work and extra cost.
Choose Micro Lathe II M1015 if…
you want the lowest price for the same mechanics. How the M1015 is driven, motor and control, should be checked on the manufacturer's page before ordering.
