The table moves in the direction of the arrows. You can move in both X and Y at
the same time.
Establishing a Datum
A datum is a reference point that you establish as the workpiece zero. You need to
set a datum for each job. The location on the workpiece that is to be used as the
datum will be determined by the way the part is dimensioned on the blueprint. In
general, you should select a datum location so that you may enter most dimensions
directly, without calculations.
The datum position is not lost at power-down, so you can quit in the middle of a job
at night and easily resume it the next morning.
The simplest datum location to set is where you can position the tool exactly at that
location in all three axes.
•
Position the
workpiece so that the
datum point is directly
beneath the tool. This
point might be a
corner, the center of a
bolt hole pattern, etc.
•
Press the DATUM
softkey and the Set
Datum entry form will
appear.
•
Press the X=0, Y=0,
and/or Z=0 softkey(s)
to establish workpiece zero.
•
Press USE to lock in the workpiece zero.

It’s a REALLY good
idea to fold in the
handcrank handles
before moving the
table!
While the MOVE TABLE
softkey is pressed, the
servo motors are on.
Press it again to turn them
