The supplied milling bit is heavily unbalanced and
should not be run faster than 20.000 RPM to avoid
excessive wear to the milling spindle!
This also means that you should not use this bit
when warming up the milling spindle as the warm
up sequence exceeds 20.000rpm.
Braille Tool setup
In order to create high quality consistent braille patterns you should perform
Tool Height
and
Tool
Offset
calibrations.
Before adjusting offset you should set the tool height of the
Braille Tool
. This can be done manually or
automatically using
X-Pad
.

It is crucial that the
Tool Height
is correctly set before running this tool.
The nominal value is
Tool Height
=
