Specimen Positioning
Hard Home
The Hard Home position is when the turret is all the way at the back of the saw and the precision
positioning device is fully retracted into its housing.
Hard Home must be done:
The first time the IsoMet 5000 is powered on.
Every time the precision positioning is removed and reinstalled.
Anytime the main power is lost or disconnected (i.e. power outage or unplugging the
unit).
How to Hard Home:
1. Clear cutting surfaces of all cutting material and tools.
2. Close the hood.
3. Press and hold the HOME button
for 10 seconds.
Hard Home will display in the center location. The turret will move towards the back of the
saw and the precision positioning device will retract into its housing.
Specimen Loading
Several chucks are available to hold specimen of many different sizes and shapes. Select the
proper chuck for the particular application and attach it to the T-slot bed.
CAUTION
!
Equipment Damage.
Make sure the specimen is secured into the chuck and the chuck to
the bed to prevent slipping or rotation during cutting. Improper clamping or chuck
selection may cause blade damage.
Do not allow the blade flanges or turret to press against a stationary object. Turret damage
may occur.
