Page 27: Wasteboard Creation
A wasteboard is a disposable work surface that will be mounted atop your Onefinity’s perma- nent table. Having a wasteboard is an important part of a CNC and makes using the Onefinity more enjoyable as leveling and workholding becomes easier. The wasteboard is typically MDF and protects the table from damage as well as being an expendable surface. -
Page 28: Wasteboard Installation: Secure From Beneath
Step 1: Lay the wasteboard strips out on your table or solid surface and position the QCW Frame over top. Step 2: Ensure the wasteboard is flush with the front of QCW Frame Tube and secure your wasteboard using the suppled screws. Very Important Note: Set the torque on your drill to low and finish tightening the screws with a hand screw driver. - Page 29 #2 Robertson Screw Driver QCW Stand (Secure from Beneath) Step 2: Grab the Y-Rails and slide your Onefinity CNC forward until the front overhangs your bench by roughly 12 inches (Red Arrow).
