Controls
Digital Controls
The digital control pad is located on the control
panel at the front of the machine, where the
operator can easily and safely access it. The
digital control pad (see
Figure 46) is the primary
control for setting final workpiece thickness (i.e.,
distance from bottom dead center (BDC) of upper
cutterhead to planer table). Refer to
Digital
Control Pad on Page 6 for functional descriptions
of each button on the pad.
The digital control pad adds these convenient
features:
•
Accurately enter a final workpiece thickness.
•
Raise or lower (i.e., jog) headstock to quickly
increase or decrease current final workpiece
thickness.
•
Enter a value to quickly increase or decrease
current final workpiece thickness.
•
Save and quickly access up to ten preset final
workpiece thicknesses in digital memory.
Changing Unit of Measure
Entering Final Workpiece Thickness
The digital control pad functions in standard and
metric units of measure. Press the
UNIT
(UNIT) key
to toggle between inches and millimeters. The
active unit of measure (INCH or MM) is highlight-
ed in the digital controls (see
Figure 46).
The simplest method to set final workpiece thick-
ness is to use the digital control pad to enter a
value and allow the machine to automatically set
the headstock height.
The digital control pad remains in Input mode
unless the headstock is moving, then it changes
to Run mode. The active mode (INPUT or RUN) is
highlighted in the digital controls (see
Figure 46).
