Step 4: Install the Wasteboard
Now that the homing sequence has moved the table to the front of the machine, it’s time to install th
e wasteboard.
The wasteboard protects the machine’s aluminum table from damage. While you can attach stock material directly
to the table, chances are high that you’ll accidently cut through the material and into the table at some point, so
we highly recommend using the wasteboard.
To install the wasteboard:
1.
Remove the wasteboard, M6 × 10mm SHCS, and 4mm hex key from the accessory box.
2.
Place the wasteboard on the table with the countersunk holes facing up, and the middle-countersunk hole
positioned just right of center.
3.
Line up the countersunk holes with the holes in the table.
4.
Use the 4mm hex key and the five (5) M6 × 10mm screws to secure the wasteboard. While tightening,
ensure your MDF wasteboard stays square with the aluminum table.
