Table Top Installation & Calibration

The instructions and images in this section show installation on the machine's crossmember extrusion. For mounting on a

spoil board, it is recommended to cut a pocket in the spoil board for the rotary frame to sit in. Use a pocket width of 355mm

(14") and depth of 5mm (3/16"). Position the rotary frame flush against one edge of the pocket.

An assembly video is available as a complimentary guide during installation and calibration of your Avid CNC rotary axis:
