Software notes	As a purely electromechanical manual machine tool, this device operates completely independently of any software platforms, firmware, or digital control interfaces. The operator adjusts the spindle rotational speed manually by repositioning the drive belt across the step pulley grooves. Drilling depth control is executed via a manual lever linked to an adjustable graduated depth stop rod with an integrated locking ring. There are no USB connections, network interfaces, or CAD/CAM integrations included.	As a traditional, entirely analog machine, it does not require any management software for its operation. The workflow is completely manual and controlled via physical switches and levers directly on the unit. There is absolutely no dependency on cloud services or network connectivity.
