Part 1 Setting Up
Press the TOOL DOWN key to bring the depth regulator
nose in contact with the surface of the workpiece.
* When attempting to move the head, first close the
spindle cover.
5
If the depth regulator nose does not reach the surface of the workpiece even when the
tool down (-Z) key is held down, rotate the micrometer dial in the direction shown by the
arrow in the figure to extent the tip of the depth regulator nose to the workpiece surface.
If the tip of the depth regulator nose doesn't reach the surface of the workpiece because
the workpiece is too thin, place a board between the workpiece and the table.
Alternatively, use the optionally available spacer for the T-slot table (ZA-600/500 series)
to raise the height of the table.
Set the Z-axis origin point at the location you set in step
5. The Z-axis origin is the reference point for raising and
lowering the spindle.
For information on how to make the setting, refer to
User's Manual 2 or User's Manual 3, depending on the
command set you're using. 6
Insert the cutter into the hole in the cutter holder, and use
the hexagonal screwdriver (small) that comes with the
machine to tighten the cutter mounting screw.
7
Use the arrow keys to position the head over the
workpiece.
* When attempting to move the head, first close the
spindle cover.
