Centering Height
This is a distance above the vertical zero where you will be manually centering the block. The drawing
Below is a typical set up for manual centering or indicting a cylinder.
X-Clearance
This is the parameter will index the cutter pointing in the x+ direction, (right) three O’clock position. The
amount you set will allow the tool to move so it clears the block deck of the upper bore does not contact
the block or upper bore. See drawing below. Machine moves in the X axis, and can be set to positive or
negative movement. Should be set to negative value ex... -.200 (-5mm)
180 index (check box)
This will make the spindle index with the tool pointing in the (X-) direction, (left) nine O’clock position.
Should set X-clearance to a positive value, ex... .200 (5mm)
X-Overshoot
This refers to the amount that it will overshoot the machine to help eliminate any backlash. IMPORTANT-
If your X-clearance is negative (-) the overshoot should be a positive value, if the X-clearance is positive
the overshoot should be negative (-)
Start Boring Height
This is the distance above zero or the block deck where you want the cutter head to start rotating and
the downward feed to start. Generally this is just a short distance above the lower sleeve to minimize the
amount of time the machine bores through air.
