3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Workpiece Setup (Tape and Super Glue Method)
For secure workpiece mounting, the masking tape and super glue method is effective. Apply masking tape to both the workpiece and the wasteboard, then apply super glue between the tape layers to create a strong, temporary bond.
Video 4: Demonstrates the masking tape and super glue method for securely attaching a workpiece to the CNC bed. (Relevant segment: 00:08:59 - 00:09:39)
3.2 Z-Probe Setup
The Z-probe is used to accurately set the Z-axis zero point on your material. Place the probe puck on the material, connect the alligator clip to the bit, and plug the probe into the control box.
Video 5: Shows the setup of the Z-probe, including placing the puck on the material, connecting the alligator clip to the bit, and plugging the probe into the control box. (Relevant segment: 00:09:43 - 00:10:07)
3.3 Sample Engraving Process
Once the workpiece and Z-probe are set, you can begin the engraving process. The machine will precisely carve the design into the material.
