Acrylic sheet/PVC sheet and similar materials
Note: Do not use sacrificial material.
To mount acrylic sheet/PVC and similar materials
1
Use a sheet with backing paper on both sides of the sheet. The bottom sheet will allow
you to cut to mask and keep the shapes in place as they are cut free of the material.
The top sheet will protect the surface from scratches. (If there is no backing paper,
apply transfer tape as a mask.)
2
Position the material directly on the router table.
3
If using the T-Vac, turn on the necessary control valves and the T-Vac pump. If not
using the T-Vac, position the material on the table so that you can clamp at least three
corners. Do not use a clamp at the start position. Be careful to avoid the clamps while
routing.
4
Set up the job to cut to mask. Cutting to the backing paper but not through the paper
will allow material to be held while shapes are cut out of material.
5
Use the ADJ DEPTH function key to change the depth during initialization as
necessary.
Setting speed and feeds
You can control the rate at which the Sabre performs cutting operations by adjusting the rates
listed below. See the Speed and Feeds Chart inserted at the back of this manual for specific
information.
♦
Spindle speed in revolutions per minute (rpm)
♦
X,Y feed rate - the rate in inches per minute (ipm) at which the Sabre travels during
cutting (metric: millimeters per second (mmps))
♦
Z feed rate - the rate in inches per minute (ipm) at which the tool plunges into the
material (metric: millimeters per second (mmps))
Changing spindle speed
The standard router motor (your chosen motor may differ) s equipped with a slide switch that
allows you to select the following speed settings:
♦
10,000 rpm
♦
13,000 rpm
♦
16,000 rpm
♦
19,000 rpm
♦
21,000 rpm
The high frequency spindle speed can be set in ART Path or by using the control pad RPM
function key. Refer to the
ART Path and Auto-Carve
User's Guide
to set the RPM in the tool path
dialog boxes.
