Turning (lathe)
F2 · Intermediate
The PD 400/CNC-ready shares the same mechanical foundation as the standard PD 400 — cast iron bed, taper roller bearing spindle, six belt-drive speeds — with the key difference that the manual handwheels on the X and Z axes are replaced by stepper motors coupled to backlash-free recirculating ball screws. The machine is supplied without a control unit, requiring a separately purchased CNC controller, a PC, hardware/software configuration skills and familiarity with CNC turning workflows. This makes it suitable for intermediate users who already own a compatible controller or wish to integrate third-party solutions, rather than those new to CNC.

Software
The machine includes neither a controller nor software: the choice of control ecosystem is entirely up to the user. Proxxon sells the complete CNC kit separately (NO 24 500), which includes a proprietary Windows-compatible control unit via RS-232/USB. Alternatively, the machine is compatible with third-party controllers that handle stepper motors through a standard interface; the axis connections are factory-prepared. Open-source software such as Mach3, LinuxCNC or equivalent solutions has been used successfully by community members, but these are not officially supported configurations by Proxxon.
Reviews from those who use this machine every day will be available in the next version of the platform.
