Boring a Block
Once the Vertical, Horizontal and In/Out stops have all been entered the Spindle RPM and Feed Rate
need to be entered. This is done on the Set Zeros screen. Once this is done you can go to the Left and/
or Right Bore location screens and bore the cylinders.
Pressing the Bore Left for Bore Right buttons Will Bore all the cylinders that have Green bore button
below them.
Pressing a Bore button once will turn that button Yellow. Any Yellow button will not be bored when the
Bore Left or Right button is pressed.
Double clicking any Bore button will turn all the Bore button yellow EXCEPT the one that was double
click.
Indicating
Even if you are not going to be boring a block to the blue print specifications it is recommended to have
these values entered. It will speed up the process of indicating and probing a block by giving the operator
a close estimate of bore location.
Vertical Zero
There are three different ways to use the boring software, Blueprinting, Indicating and Probing. It is not
unusual for all three modes to be used on the same size block. The vertical stops for these different
operating programs will vary. Be sure the vertical stops are set correctly for the mode you are using.
For this example the deck will be our zero for the Vertical axis. Insert a tool holder into the cutterhead
you will be using to bore the block. Center the cutterhead over a cylinder. Using the Vertical Handwheel,
bring the cutterhead down until the tool just touches the deck and press the Vertical Zero button. The
display above this button will go to zero. The Vertical zero has now been set.
The zeros points for all axis have now been set. All the numbers entered from this point on will reference
these zero positions. You are finished with the Set Zeros screen, select the next Tab to the Right.
