CNC STYLUS – QUICK START GUIDE V1.1
When setting the Z datum, you must position the CNC Stylus' barrel in the middle of the
travel range. To do this, move your Z axis until the tool touches the material surface, and
then continue to move your axis by another 2mm. You can now set your Z datum to this
point.
You will need to adjust the retract settings in your CAM software to ensure the CNC Stylus
lifts clear of the material during a move to the start of a new toolpath. As shown, this value
would need to be higher than 2mm e.g., 5mm. To learn more about retracts, and how to
increase total retract height up to 19mm for special projects please see Section 8.2
