Software notes As an exclusively manual mechanical machine tool, this drill press operates without onboard digital control systems, firmware, or software interfaces. Speed changes are executed manually by repositioning the Poly-V drive belts within the head enclosure. Spindle movement is operated via a traditional side handwheel with a mechanical depth stop and scale. No software connectivity, network access, or digital configuration is required or supported. —
