Turning (lathe)
F2 · Intermediate
The 8440B is a complete, pre-configured CNC system: it includes the 17″ benchtop lathe with stepper motors fitted, an Ubuntu PC with LinuxCNC pre-installed, a 4-axis driver board integrated into the computer, and connecting cables. This turnkey configuration sets it apart from CNC-ready kits and targets those who want to start CNC turning without assembling the control electronics themselves. It still assumes a working knowledge of G-code programming, characteristic of advanced hobbyists and small precision workshops.
