To measure the tool length on the machine table:
•
go to Configuration, Ploter tab and select the location of the plate (table, pad, material)
•
move the spindle above the plate
•
place the plate on the surface
•
go to Manual Control \ Tool length
•
press
Automatic measurement
•
wait till the tool touches the plate and the spindle moves back up
•
put away the measuring plate
If you put the measuring plate directly on the aluminum table of the router, any small movement
of the plate may prematurely end the measuring process. To avoid this, put a thin piece of isolation
on the bottom of the measuring plate. Make sure you remeasure the plate thickness and insert the
correct value in the configuration.
CAUTION! Always place the plate with the insulated side down. Otherwise, the measuring
process will not work properly and may result in breaking the tool, damaging the router or injury.
Semi-automatic tool length measurement
Alternatively, you can measure the tool length in the following way:
•
move the spindle to the location of the measurement
•
open
Manual Control
and
Tool Length
•
insert
999
for
tool length
(to allow for unlimited movement down)
