Prerequisits for “No”-Spoilboard
- Skim cut spoil board
- Router is in tram
So when preparing a carve, say for a 12mm thick material and you want to cut through:
- Jog the bit down to the surface of your spoil board, command a 13mm lift. This make the distance above the spoil board known.
- Jog in X/Y direction to your intended work zero position - In Easel this is your Home Position
- Carve your design, set depth for thru-cut = 13mm
This will ensure the full depth = precisely spoil board surface.
If your 12mm work piece is actually 11,2mm or 13,5mm thick (or vary) and you zero from an arbitrary surface point of this material, carved to 12mm can give you under/overcut.
