Load the workpiece, then move the spindle to
above the workpiece. Lower the spindle until
the tip of the collet is at a height about 12 to 13
mm (1/2 in.) from the surface of the material.

Insert the cutter (diameter 4.36 mm), then bring
the tip lightly into contact with the workpiece.
When you insert the cutter, orient it so that it
will not catch on the collet.
If the cutter does not reach the workpiece, lower the
spindle further.
Damage to the workpiece can be prevented by placing a
sheet of thin paper over the workpiece. When you do
this it is a good idea to cut in by a depth increased by an
amount equal to the thickness of the paper (about 0.002
in.).
