8400A 8" CNC Tabletop Lathe System Package A (LinuxCNC)
A precision lathe with a rigid aluminium-and-steel body, suited to small parts in wood, plastic, aluminium and steel. Stepper-driven CNC control and dovetail slides place it beyond a basic hobby machine while staying short of the performance and automation of an industrial one. The Package A kit is the most basic in the series and targets prototyping, model engineering, research and teaching.
