Getting Started
The CNC is one of our more dangerous pieces of equipment. It can be a VERY energetic machine and cause flying metal if improperly configured.
Safety
Standard Disclaimers:
- Don't be inebriated
- No loose items
- Standard safety gear (safety glasses)
- Tie back hair
Operating the CNC
Before doing anything, know exactly where the Emergency Stop button is. It is the large red button on the front left side of the machine.
If you press it, you can confirm it worked by reading the code on the spindle rpm controller on the bottom right of the front of the machine which should be displaying 'ER'
You must fully power cycle the CNC and reset the switch (twist) to use the CNC
Creating The Cut Files
CAM jobs must use mm's.
