| Software notes | 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. | As a purely electromechanical and analog machine, the 4208T does not require any control software, computer connection, or cloud dependencies. All speed and depth adjustments are performed manually via belt placement on pulleys and mechanical depth stops. |
