The Shark HD544® offers two control options:
1. Design your project using VCarve Pro software (available separately). Once the design is ready, transfer it to a USB drive. Plug the USB drive directly into the LCD pendant. This pendant features a convenient touch screen interface that eliminates the need for a computer to control the CNC in your shop.
2. For more control interactivity you can run the Shark HD544® from your computer with the Ready2Control program. This lets you use the exclusive patented Virtual Zero Unlimited® program. Our program will adjust your design to fit curves and angles that would be impossible on other brands of machines. (Computer and flash drive not included).
