Step by Step Operation 73
nose cone is lowered on top of the second piece of material (near its edge) and the cutter is adjusted
downward until it touches the top of the material to be cut. This, in effect, sets the cut depth to match
the material thickness. The cutter knob set screw is tightened, then the micrometer is adjusted, either
for a through cut (turning clockwise) or a kiss cut (turning counter-clockwise), 1 - 3 clicks.
Holding Down Material
Secure the material on the t-slot table. It is best to use Multi Mat to hold the material in place, but keep
in mind that since we are cutting completely through, there will likely be cut marks into the Multi Mat
when the job is complete. Another procedure is to use a piece of sacrificial material on top of the Multi
Mat. DO NOT place the material to be cut directly on the t-slot table. If you do, then the cutter will cut
into the t-slot table and permanently damage the surface. Other methods for holding material down are
in the section Holding Down Material.
