3.10 Making a new registration hole system
The registration holes in the red registration hole strip become larger over time due to use
and will no longer be as precise as before.
New holes must be drilled in the strips if this is the case.
The registration hole strips must be replaced when eventuallly there are too many holes in
them.

A new registration hole system is created as follows:
1.
First press the two registration hole strips into the machine groove, with the front
registration hole strip pushed against the reference pin at the front of the groove.
The distance between the two registration hole strips should be approximately the size
of the board material in the x-axis.
2.
A special drill for drilling the registration hole system is provided in the set of
accessories. This drill is also contained in the BoardMaster tool library. This drill has
the spacer ring pressed onto the tool such that the distance to the plotter table is
approximately 0.5 mm.
Caution
This tool is intended for drilling the registration hole system only. Using this
tool to drill boards may cause the tool to be broken or the plotter to be
damaged

Select the tool in BoardMaster: "Spiral Drill Ref 2.95 mm"
5.
To increase the drill stroke, adjust the work depth limiter to the top using the knurled
screw, in order to increase the drill stroke.
