Software notes	As a purely electromechanical and manually controlled machine tool, this drill press does not require the installation or use of any software to operate. All interactions are physical: speed changes are made by repositioning the belts on the pulleys, while the spindle is operated via the classic three-spoke lever. The integrated laser aiming system, useful for quickly centering the workpiece, is independently powered and activated simply via a dedicated switch located on the machine head.	As a traditional, entirely analog machine, it does not require any management software for its operation. The workflow is completely manual and controlled via physical switches and levers directly on the unit. There is absolutely no dependency on cloud services or network connectivity.
