| Software notes | Being a purely manual machine, it does not require any CAM or control software. Positioning is done via graduated handwheels (1 revolution = 1 mm, 1 division = 0.05 mm). | Being a purely manual milling machine (not CNC), it does not require any control software or PC connection. Movement control is entirely handled by the graduated mechanical handwheels (0.01 mm per division) and the operator's sensitivity. |
