| Cloud dependency | No | No |
| Software notes | As a traditional machine tool, this model operates in a purely mechanical and manual manner. No control software, computer connection, or cloud dependency is required. Speed adjustments are made physically by moving the belts on the stepped pulleys inside the upper housing. | The machine is fully analog and mechanical, with no digital components or control interfaces requiring the use of external software. Speed and positioning control is done manually using levers, cranks, and by repositioning the transmission belts. |
