Machine Setup
- Check Check coolant level on the back of the machine. If coolant is needed mix 4010 coolant stored in the bottom cabinet 4 cups water to 1/2 cup coolant.
- Turn on Air compressor. Red power knob on the side of the air compressor
- Pull the oil choke out. Note this in the log book. This really only needs to be done every 8 hrs, so check the log book first

- Un estop the machine
- Push green reset button on pendant
- Select reset in path pilot
- Ensure vise handle it in center hole
- Select RefX, RefY, RefZ
You are now ready to either run a conversational program or execute a gcode program created using fusion or other CAM program
Machine Usage
- Setup Stock
- If using the vise
- Make sure that the stock is held securely and is set square to either a parallel bar or the bottom of the vise
- Make sure you CAM accounts for all fixtures and will not cut into the vise or vise jaws
- If using other fixture
- Use a substrate under your material to ensure you do not cut into the table. A new replacement table is expensive and if damaged is the responsibility of the user to replace.
- If using the vise
- Measure and set X0, Y0, Z0 (Critical to success and not damaging the machine)
- Hamier Probe (most accurate and preferred method)
- Insert Hamier probe into collet
- Move probe to Z0 as trained. Make sure to move in slow movements to ensure you dont break the tip. A broken tip is a $45 charge
- Set Z0
- Repeat for Y axis. Remember to always have Y0 be the back jaw of the vise unless there is a reason to set Y in another location
- Repeat for X axis.
- Manually
- Select the tool being used in path pilot
- Locate tool at X0, Y0, Z0
- Update X0, Y0, Z0 in path pilot
- Hamier Probe (most accurate and preferred method)
- Load Gcode from USB drive or conversational program

Machine Shutdown
- Remove tool from collet and replace with the the an empty tool holder. Never leave the collet empty this will damage the power drawbar and collet
- Remove any parallels and other attachments from the vise and table
- Clean all chips from the table and vise
- Clean all chips from the baffels and back of the machine. This might require moving the table to front and back of the machine
- If the chips are deep in the pans use the chip scoop and trash can on the left hand side of the machine
- Use the shop vac to clean chips from the trays.
