3. Manually move Z-axis down to
1
⁄
8
" above
workpiece or table surface (as determined by
G-code).
4. Place piece of paper between cutter tip and
workpiece/table surface. Slowly step Z-axis
down while sliding paper until paper cannot
move.
5. Press XY->0 to set X- and Y-axis origin.
6. Press Z->0 to set Z-axis origin.
4. Hold down MENU, then press ON/OFF and
release buttons together. Spindle will lower
until it presses button on tool setter, then
raise slightly. Z-axis origin is set at base of
tool setter.
Setting Work Origin
Work origin is the workpiece-specific zero point—
the starting point for your toolpath. All three axes
need to be zeroed at the work origin before run-
ning code for any particular operation.
The Z-axis can be set in relation to either the table
surface or the workpiece surface, but it must cor-
respond to what is established in the G-code. If
this is not done properly, the cutter may crash into
the material or the table, causing damage to the
workpiece or the table.
Always set work origin before each unique
operation. The work origin of all axes must
match the origin of the toolpath established
in the G-code. Failure to set the work origin
may cause the cutter to crash and damage
the workpiece, table, or cutter.
To set work origin:
1. Clamp workpiece to table, insert cutter, and
load G-code to controller.
2. Manually move X- and Y-axes to toolpath
origin established in G-code.
To set Z-axis origin using tool setter:
1. Clamp workpiece to table, insert cutter, and
load G-code to controller.
2. Place tool setter on top of table or workpiece.
3. Manually move X- and Y-axes so cutter is
directly above tool setter (see
Figure 40).
