| Software notes | As a traditional electromechanical machine, this drill press operates entirely without software or digital controllers. Adjustments are made manually via a stepped pulley system to change speeds, while mechanical levers and cranks manage plunge depth, angle, and radial reach. No cloud connectivity or firmware updates are required or supported. | — |
