4th Axis System Complete (D-Series)
Includes 3 pcs: 4th Axis Module, 3-Jaw Chuck, and Tailstock
4th Axis System
The 4th Axis System allows you to expand the capabilities of the STEPCRAFT CNC system by allowing machining of round objects with precision. Making things like chess pieces, tap handles, even baseball bats are possible by using a 4th Axis. This system is compatible with every STEPCRAFT D-Series CNC System. The system comes with the rotary chuck, tail stock and 4th Axis interface module. NOTE: To get the most adjustability out of the system it is recommended to add an aluminum T-Slot Table to your STEPCRAFT machine to take advantage of the T-tracks so you can infinitely move the tailstock to accommodate various length projects.
