~~REVEAL~~
Changing tooling and loading material
Changing tooling
- Insert and tighten up new tooling, changing collet if required.
- Reinstall dust shoe, being careful of sharp tool.
Zeroing Z(tool) height
Automatic (Preferred)
- Unplug, unclip and put away Z-Probe hardware.
Manual (Expert Only)
Loading Material
- Align material with front left 'home' position.
- Think about how material will move, what your cut path is and where it will go.
Large sheets tend to flex and lift as they are cut. Soft materials will move.
Placing screws as close as is safely possible the job is preferable to just putting a few around the edges of the sheet. - Secure to the bed using wood screws and cordless drill
Pre-drilling holes before screwing allows the screws to pull the material down against the waste board for better holding
