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

off.
