Re setting the origin point
1. Bring the router head to the origin point by pressing origin button.
2. Lower the router bit by pressing Z= so that it is just above the spoil board.
Note the position of the tip of the router bit point. You will probably find the origin point will
have to be adjusted.
3. Jog the point over so that it lines up with the edge of the spoil board in the X axis.
4. Jog the point over so that it lines up with the edge of the spoil board in the Y axis.
5. Reset the origin point by pressing the top right hand button XY-0 / 4. This will set the origin
and the machine has a new datum point.
Setting the Z origin point (tool touch off)
The machine needs to know when the router bit is just
touching the top of the spoil board. When you fit the router bit
into the collet, the tip of the router bit will be at a different
height above the spoil board and will have to be zeroed.
1. Fit a flat bottom router bit to the spindle.
2. Jog (Z) the tip of the tool down so that it is just above the
top of the spoil board using the continues button.
3. Step down in slow mode (0.1mm 0.004" each time the
button is pressed) while turning the router collet by hand in
the reverse direction. When you feel pressure stop jogging
down.
Note. Do not turn the router bit by hand, it is sharp and could cause injury.
4. Select the distance mode and enter 0.0254mm [0.0001"] Press Z+ (UP) and rotate the
cutter in the reverse direction until the cutter is free to move and there is no drag. The cutter is
now within 0.001" above the spoil board.
5. Once the router bit is at zero, press the Z-0 / 8 button to set the zero point.
