| Software notes | A manual machine with no numerical control: you work with handwheels and dials reading inches. It is, however, one of the most used bases for DIY CNC conversions, with third-party kits and GRBL, Mach3 or LinuxCNC controllers; the conversion is not supported by Grizzly. | Being a purely manual machine, it does not require any CAM or control software. Positioning is done via graduated handwheels (1 revolution = 1 mm, 1 division = 0.05 mm). |
