| 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. | As a purely electromechanical machine, it requires no control software or network connection to operate. Speed adjustment is achieved mechanically by varying the pulley ratio, without the use of digital interfaces or touch panels, ensuring straightforward operation completely free from firmware updates or digital dependencies. |
