CNC LATHES THAT LOWER THE BARRIERS TO BUY, LEARN AND USE
Accelerate Your Workflow with
the 15LX CNC Lathe
The 15LX CNC lathe builds on the proven 15L Slant-PRO® platform with more power, speed, and precision. Designed and manufactured by employee-owners in the USA and Mexico, it features an EtherCAT-based control system, absolute encoder servos, and a 6 HP continuous spindle (10 HP peak) for heavy cuts. With rapid speeds up to 360 IPM and integrated feedback on every axis, the 15LX delivers serious performance in a compact footprint, perfect for modern prototyping and small-batch production.
