Pivot Point Calibration
TigerTouch stores information about the pivot point of the TigerSaw Miter.
This is CRITICAL to allow accurate part lengths.
The pivot point information is stored on the tablet during installation and training, and should not change over the life of the
TigerSaw. If the tablet is destroyed or erased, however, it will be necessary to run the “Calibrate Miter Pivot” routine from the
Options Screen (
).
Prompts on the tablet will direct the operator and request measurements. Some steps must be performed using the standard
controllers.
To perform a pivot point calibration:
1. Move to a short position and calibrate straight cuts.
•
This step can be controlled entirely with TigerTouch.
•
Set the positioner. Shorter is better. It’s best if the upcoming measurements can be made with a caliper.
•
Set the miter angle to zero (straight) (
).
•
Cut a sample part (flat end against the pusher). Cycle the saw manually (
).
•
Measure the part. If the length matches the target position, go to step 2.
•
Otherwise, go to the Options screen (
), choose the “PositionerX”
tab, and tap “Calibrate”. Report the measurement.
2. Start the Calibrate Miter Pivot routine.
•
This step can be controlled with TigerTouch.
•
On the Options screen (
), choose the “Miter” tab and touch
“Calibrate Miter Pivot”.
3. Following the prompts, cut a -45° sample part and report the back
fence length.
•
The miter movement must be driven with the standard controller.
•
Set the miter angle to point 45° towards the pusher (-45°). This is easiest
with calculator mode (
).
•
Cut a sample part (flat against the pusher and the back fence). Use a fresh
piece of stock. Cycle the saw manually (
•
Measure the length that was against the back fence.
•
Report the measurement to TigerTouch.
4. Following the prompts, cut a 45° sample part and report the back
fence length.
•
The miter movement must be driven with the standard controller.
•
Set the miter angle to point 45° away from the pusher (45°) (
).
•
Cut a sample part (flat against the pusher and the back fence). Use a fresh
piece of stock. Cycle the saw manually (
•
Measure the length that was against the back fence.
•
Report the measurement to TigerTouch.
5. Tap “OK” on the final dialog box to store the results.
