Step 16 — Zero the Z axis
For safety, you should turn your
router's power switch OFF.
Position the Handibot on the
material that you will be cutting.
Use the Keypad to move the router
bit (X and Y axes) towards the
center of the work area. Place a
piece of cardstock (like a business
card) under the router bit.
Use the Keypad to move the Z
down just until the tip of the bit
touches the cardstock. When you
get close, you can click on the
"fixed" button on the Keypad to
move the Z in small increments.
With your other hand, move the
cardstock back and forth until you
can feel the router bit "catch" the
cardstock. Stop here.
Click on the blue Zero button on the
Keypad and check that you wish to
Zero the Z axis. Click OK. OR,
close out of Keypad and use ZZ
from the menu.
Remember to turn on the power to
the router before you start cutting.
