6. Operating Instructions
This section outlines the general steps for operating your CNC machine.
6.1 Preparing Your Design
- Create your design using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.
- Generate G-code from your CAD design using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software. Ensure the G-code is compatible with the machine's control system.
6.2 Setting Up the Workpiece
- Place your material securely on the workbed using the provided clamps.
- Install the appropriate cutting tool (end mill, engraving bit, etc.) into the spindle collet.
- Attach the 52mm ABS Dust Shoe to the spindle motor if dust collection is required.
6.3 Operating with the Offline Controller
- Transfer your G-code file to the offline controller via a USB drive (if applicable).
- Use the offline controller to jog the spindle to the desired starting (zero) position for your workpiece.
- Set the Z-axis zero point using a Z-probe or manual method.
- Select your G-code file from the controller's menu.
- Initiate the carving or cutting process. Monitor the machine closely during operation.
