About Calibration
The
Setup Screens
in this machine perform calibrations.
Calibration assures you that your cut parameters are accurate and are within the specified limits.
In troubleshooting, calibration can be an essential step in solving issues. The goal is to start with a
known reference to confirm and isolate issues that can cause improper cuts.
Before you Calibrate
Before you start calibration, check for the following common issues and ask yourself these ques-
tions:
1.
Is the loaded setup correct for the current cut?
2.
Are the machine stops set up correctly?
3.
When did the problem first start? (during a run, at start up?)
4.
When was the last calibration?
5.
Is the door square, straight, and bevel correct?
6.
Ensure the door is tight against all H-Blocks
7.
Ensure the door is clamped up tight against the reveal.
8.
Is the router or pre-drill depth correct? (Use a Router Bit Depth Gauge (PN: 432C)
to check depth.)
9.
Check tools for wear.
10.
Check back side of th H-Blocks for sawdust build-up, which may affect depth.
Note: KVAL recommends that a test door is run first and checked for specifications before a full
run is started.If any cut parameters are inaccurate, use the embedded calibration routine as a step
to verify the validity of the test setup.
