10 Sabre Owner’s Guide
♦
Press the control pad move keys to move the tool to the desired position and press the
Home function key.
Note: Use the Home key only if you have already pressed Start and wish to establish a different
job home position.
The job home position must allow sufficient room for the job to fit within the active cutting area.
If job home position causes the job to extend beyond the routing area, the Sabre displays an
error message indicating that the job exceeds table boundaries. To continue, you will have to
change the job home position, ART Path offset, or number of repeats so that it fits within table
boundaries.
Z axis initialization
Z-axis movement is the up and down movement of the tool. Z-axis initialization establishes the
location of the cutting tool relative to the router table (or sacrificial material) surface and the
workpiece material surface. All subsequent up and down moves are made relative to the Z
initialization position. If the Z-axis is not properly initialized, the tool will cut at the wrong
depth and could cut into the table.
The Z-axis may be initialized for two types of routing: through-cutting and non-through
cutting. When initialized for through-cutting, the Z-axis is initialized to the table (or sacrificial
material) surface and the Sabre tool cuts entirely through the workpiece during cutting. When
initialized for non-through cutting, the Z-axis is initialized to the material surface and the Sabre
tool plunges into the material to the depth specified in ART Path relative to the surface of the
material. Refer to the section “Z axis initialization” for detailed instructions.
