Adjusting Axis Positions Manually - Grizzly G0931 Owner's Manual

2. Secure workpiece to spoilboard.
Note: Depending on the needs of the
workpiece and G-code, it could be appro-
priate to use additional hold-down clamps,
double-sided tape, or mount the workpiece
directly to the spoilboard with screws.
Surfacing Spoilboard
The G0931 can be used to surface a spoilboard
or workpiece using the mill plane feature and
an appropriate cutter (see Choosing Cutter on
Page 26).
Items Needed
Spoilboard Cutter or Fly Cutter ........................ 1
To surface using mill plane operation:
1. Hold down RUN/PAUSE on controller, then
press HIGH/LOW and release buttons togeth-
er to open advanced processing menu.
2. Scroll to "Mill plane" and press OK.
3. Choose "Scan mill" or "Encircle mill" and
press OK. Operation parameters will appear.
Note: A "Scan mill" operation runs back and
forth from one end of the defined workpiece
to the other. An "Encircle mill" operation runs
from the outside to the inside of the defined
workpiece.
4.
Define operation parameters. Press RUN/
PAUSE to change a parameter and OK to
save. Distances are measured in millimeters.
— Scan Type changes direction of operation.
For scan milling, "X Scan" runs back and
forth across X-axis, and "Y Scan" runs
back and forth across Y-axis. For encir-
cle milling, "AC" runs counterclockwise
around workpiece and "C" runs clockwise
around workpiece.
— Height and Width defines size of area to
be surfaced.
— Diameter defines diameter of surfacing
tool used.
Model G0931 (Mfd. Since 02/21)
— Depth defines the total depth of material
removed. Z Step defines how much mate-
rial is removed per pass. For example,
a Depth of 1 and Z Step of 0.25 would
remove 1mm of material over four passes.
5.
Press OK after all parameters have been
saved to start mill plane operation.
Adjusting Axis
Positions Manually
Qty
Knowing how to manually control axis movement
is an essential part of operating the G0931. Axes
must be positioned manually whenever a work
origin is set.
Use axis movement buttons on controller (X+,
X-, Y+, Y-, Z+, and Z-) to move axes. See
Controller Functions on Page 5 for detailed
button descriptions.
Manual axis movement can be performed at two
speeds and in three motion modes: Continuous,
Step, and Distance.
Manual axis movement can move beyond
soft limit proximity switches, which can
damage the machine. Be aware of axis
locations during manual movement, and
be prepared to stop machine if axes move
unexpectedly.
