| The electronics cabinet is oversized to allow for future upgrading to a CNC. The X and Y axis already have CNC class amplifiers and axis motors, as well as the spindle drive. You can see in the top left corner of the panel a blank space where the CNC control can be fitted. Minimal wiring changes and pre-fitted components make the CNC upgrade very economical. |  |
