Product Description:

Presenting our Advanced Electronic Leadscrew Controller with Auto-Reversing, a cutting-edge enhancement to your lathe operations. Crafted for hobby lathes, this device offers the ability to seamlessly connect to a rotary encoder, a servo stepper motor, and external endstops. It delivers unparalleled control of your lathe carriage’s feed rate and provides automatic reversing, making your tasks smoother and more efficient.

NOTE – This is the controller only – you need to provide an encoder input with approx. 800 steps per revolution and a sufficiently powerful stepper servo motor to drive the leadscrew. Contact me for support and details.
