Click “OK” and the tool will take two passes
around the perimeter of the deck creating a rabbet
that is approximately 1/8” wide by 3/8” deep.
Things to keep in mind:
The center section of the deck represents the actual useful
cutting area of the Desktop, which is 24” x 36” on the
Desktop MAX and 24” x 18” on the Desktop.
The left front (lower) corner of this center section rep-
resents the home position for the X- and Y-axes.
By default, the router returns to this position after it com-
pletes the cutting program.
This home position aligns with the center of the bit when the router is positioned above it.
Most X, Y measurements for designing and routing are
based off this location.
