Temporarily adjusting the initialization depth of a tool
You can temporarily adjust the initialization depth of the current tool by using the Temp Adjust
Depth Menu. When the tool is replaced into the tool changer carousel the initialization depth of
that tool returns to the original initialization value. You can access the Temp Adjust Depth
menu by pressing the ADJ DEPTH speed key or through the Z INIT menu.
Note: the ADJ DEPTH speed key on the Sabre control pad now opens the TEMP ADJUST
MENU rather than the ADJUST DEPTH MENU.

Mat milling
The Sabre is shipped with protective mats installed on the table surface. The mats provide
accurate depth control and minimize the need for sacrificial material under the workpiece.
Table mats are replaceable.
The mat surface must be milled prior to first use to provide a perfectly flat work surface. It may
be repeated to establish a new surface or if new mats are installed.
The mat milling operation uses tool path files that accompany ART Path. No separate file
installation is necessary.
Safety guidelines
Before milling the mats, please read and observe these safety guidelines.
WARNING: The Sabre is a high-speed cutting machine. Its use may be hazardous
if you do not observe these safety guidelines.

Only a trained operator should run the Sabre.
