8 Verify that the nominal material thickness set in ART Path is correct. Do one of the
following:
♦ Press ENTER to accept the nominal thickness value. The control pad displays the Set
Actual Thickness menu.
CAUTION: Do not change the nominal thickness value sent from ART Path unless
it is wrong. The Nominal thickness value must be greater than or equal to the total
depth entered in ART Path. If the values do not match, results will not be as
expected.
♦ Press A or B to change the nominal thickness. The material thickness you select may
range from .063" to 6.000" in .063" increments (1.5 mm to 150 mm in 1.5 mm
increments.) Press ENTER to accept the nominal thickness value. The control pad
displays the Set Actual Thickness menu.
9 Choose one of the following:
♦ Press A to accept the last thickness value as the current thickness value. This is helpful
when routing multiple jobs on the same work piece. The Sabre begins routing the job.
♦ Press B to use the nominal value for the current thickness value. Nominal thickness
values can be used when through-cutting the work piece. The Sabre begins routing the
job.
♦ Press C to perform a Z axis initialization to the material surface. You must establish a
material surface reference when the job contains non-through cutting tool paths. For
more information on initializing to the material, see "Establishing material surface
reference." The control pad displays:
