This lathe came 100% assembled from STYLECNC, plug and play, and the first thing I did was just rough in a table leg for fun. The CNC controller made it super easy to play with, and the woodturning was smooth and clean, far exceeding my expectations.
Pros: Heavy-duty cast iron bed makes it sturdy and durable. Fully automated CNC control system frees your hands, improves productivity and saves manufacturing costs.
Cons: Must go with the auto-feeder option (about $1,000) if you try to take off too much wood blanks at once, as well as a software upgrade.
All in all, It's a beginner-friendly lathe machine for getting started with woodworking automation. Best lathe ever and so far STYLECNC hasn't let me down.
