8440 17" CNC Benchtop Lathe System (LinuxCNC)
A precision lathe with a rigid aluminium-and-steel build, intended for small parts in wood, plastic, aluminium and steel. Dovetail slides with backlash compensation and stepper-driven CNC control suit prototyping, model engineering and teaching or research settings, placing it beyond a basic hobby machine but short of the performance and automation of an industrial one.
