System Preparation and Use 91
5.
Starting with a drip rate of six drops per minute, adjust the
drip rate and air pressure to provide a mist wet enough to
create a slight beading of moisture on the workpiece. Avoid
an excessively "dry" mist. Better cooling and mist placement
are achieved when larger mist droplets are used. Ideally the
coolant should evaporate during cutting.
6.
Adjust the drip rate and lubricant flow by turning the drip
regulator on the top of the coolant reservoir.
To increase the drip rate, turn the regulator
counterclockwise.
To decrease the drip rate, turn the regulator clockwise.
Using the Step Height Gage
The step height gage enhances the depth accuracy of the
Dimension 200. When working with a milled table surface, you
can set the depth of cut so precisely that masked materials, such
as acrylic sheet, can be cut while leaving the bottom layer of
masking paper intact. This eliminates the need for separate
adhesives to hold the cut shape in the workpiece and can do away
with the need for sacrificial material.
