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. —
