Description

The Cue Maker Supply CNC 4th Axis Headstock Assembly adds rotary capability to your CNC machine with a 4:1 timing belt reduction and a standard NEMA 23 stepper motor. Compatible with our Basic Series 3-jaw and 4-jaw chuck options, it provides flexible workholding for cue making and other rotary projects.

Chuck sold separately.

Built around the same dovetail system as our lathes, this assembly can be mounted on a separately sold 4-foot dovetail bed and used with our standard tailstocks. Mount and align the bed on your CNC machine, secure the headstock in place, and slide the tailstock along the bed to accommodate projects ranging from shafts to extensions and short jump handles.

Compatible accessories from our lathe lineup—including spur drives, dead centers, and live centers—provide additional workholding options.

A 6-inch flying lead with a 4-pin Phoenix connector connects to our SpinDrive and Spindexer controller cables, as well as our pre-made cables for integration with other CNC control systems. Use the SpinDrive for standalone spinning, the Spindexer for standalone spinning and indexing, or our separately sold Gecko G540 cable for direct connection to your CNC controller.
