Hi there

I am trying to put together a CNC Wood Turning Lathe Machine, It's Cutting dimensions are 1500*500 mm.

I am planing to use Leadshine 85 N-m stepper for X and Y Axis, Is this motor up to the Job? or Do I need to get a stronger Motor?

I also plan to Turn my work piece the Max Size to be @ 1500*500 mm using a 3 Phase 4 Kw (5.5 Hp) Electro Motor.


  • Can I turn it Directly with out using any Polly?
  • If I need to use the Polly s, what ratio of the pollys do you recommend?
  • As mater of what would be the best range of RPM in order to Turn my work piece?
  • Can I use a Stepper in order to Turn my Work piece rather than a 3 Phase Motor? Do I get high enough RPM with Stepper?
  • Can I use Mach3 as my controller? (Knowing that this machine in actuality is a 2 Axis machine)? Can you recommend a better Controller to me?
