5-2 Starting Cutting
59 Chapter 5 Getting Ready for and Performing Cutting
Setting the Cutting-start Location
When you've finished loading the workpiece and setting the Z-axis origin, make the settings for the X-axis and A-axis origins.
The locations where you should set these origins differ according to the program you're using, but setting them as described
below is generally acceptable.
Typical Setting for the X-axis Origin
The cutting location along the X axis is determined by the X-axis origin. This is set in various ways depending on the program,
such as at the left edge or at the right edge of the range you want to cut. When making the setting, be careful to ensure that
the tool does not strike the workpiece chuck or the tightening knob.
Typical Setting for the A-axis Origin
For multiple-surface cutting, orient the object so that the surface you want to cut first (the No. 1 surface) faces upward. It may
be best to orient it to be parallel with the surface of the table. For round material, setting an A-axis origin may not be necessary.
