- DON’T RUN OTHER LARGE TOOLS WHILE CNC MACHINE IS RUNNING (the machine is very susceptible to power fluctuations- unexpected results may occur and can be dangerous)
- Always check Zero and home positions before running a part
- Edge guards are in place (especially if using down-cut bits) - incase a bit breaks and fly's off. Don't want that bit to hit anyone (or break more car glass - oops!)
- Be sure to use a sacrificial board when needed
- Safety glasses!
- Hearing protection!
- Be award of clamps or other things that can come into contact with router and gantry
- Be aware of the current bit's max cutting depth and depth required to cut / clearances
- If cutting out a part be sure part has tall enough tabs for material setup so pieces don’t fly out when cutting.
- when cutting out a deep part – consider using pocket cut to cut out larger than the bit to avoid binding and breaking the bit down in a deep hole
- TABS- be sure to make them big enough and account for cutting deeper than the material!!
