Set Dwell Down - This controls how long the spindle will dwell, or wait after initially dropping the cutter down into the
material before moving in an X/Y direction. This is typically used when engraving into harder materials, allowing the cutter
to plunge to the correct depth before starting to engrave or rout. This number is in milliseconds, so entering a number of

speed + and Z speed - buttons to select the home position you would like to save. Next, use the X and Y
jog buttons to move the spindle to the position that you would like to use as the home position. Once the
spindle is at the desired location, press the Enter button to store the home position. Press Exit to return
to the main screen. Note: Preset home positions are stored even after the controller has been
powered off.
Load Preset Home - To load a preset home, move the cursor to the Load Preset Home menu using the
Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter. Use the Z speed + and Z speed - buttons to select the home
position you would like to load. Once the desired position is shown on the Pendant screen, press the
Enter button to load the home position. The machine will now use this position as the home position.

menu using the Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter. The home position is now defaulted back to

main screen when finished. Note: This does not apply to Preset Home Positions, only to the user
defined home position set with the Set Home button.
