ELS 4 Basic

The electronic lead screw turns a simple lathe into a cycle lathe! It replaces the gear completely and drives the X and Z axis of the lathe via one or two stepper motors. This means that any feed rate and thread pitch can be set at the touch of a button and positions can be approached exactly, a position indicator (DRO) is included. Thread, taper or radius turning is easier than ever, even inch threads and multi-start threads can be done by the ELS, all without tap on the conventional lathe.  It is switchable between 1- and 2-axis operation.
