ABSOLUTE X,Y:
The Absolute X,Y function displays the exact position of the router
tool relative to the absolute 0,0 position on the router table
established during orientation when the router was turned on. The
Absolute X,Y display allows you to position the router tool with
great precision and helps set the job home position. Each
coordinate is precise to three decimal places (000.000) in inches,
two decimal places (0000.00) in mm.
Note: On systems that have not been upgraded to include limit
switches, the 0,0 position is the tool position when power is turned
on.

1. Press SELECT while in the STOP READY or STOP JOB
mode.
2. Press the right or left arrow key until Absolute (X,Y): appears
in the message box.
3. Press SELECT to display the current position.
