OPERATION
Incremental Dimensions
As described earlier, incremental dimensions are measured from the
current tool position to the next. If the tool is currently at 2" and you
want to move an additional 3.125", you would select the incremental
mode, zero out the axis, and move the table until the display reads
3.125.
An example of how to measure using incremental dimensions is shown
on the next page.
To use an incremental dimension:
•
Move the table to the point where you want to measure an
incremental distance from.
•
Using the

is selected.

After you have reached the position you want and have milled the part,
you can "zero" each axis again and then measure from that location to
the next point on the workpiece or press
absolute mode.
