Adjusting the milling depth/width
By means ofthe milling/drilling depth limiter the surface removal can be
set exactly to the desired rate.
For conical formed mills (Universal Cutter, Micro Cutter), the milling width
has to be set using the milling depth limiter.
Adjusting the milling depth (cylindrical tools)
1. Turn the adjusting wheel on the milling/drilling head to the left to
increase the milling depth.
2. Turn the adjusting wheel on the milling/drilling head to the right to
reduce the milling depth.
Note: The milling depth can be set in increments of 2 µm.
3. Perform a milling test run.
4. Check the result with a magnifying glass.
5. Repeat the process until sufficient material is removed.
[ ] The milling depth has been set correctly.
Adjusting the milling width (Universal Cutter and Micro Cutter
only)
1. Turn the adjusting wheel on the milling/drilling head to the left to
mill a wider track.
2. Turn the adjusting wheel on the milling/drilling head to the right to
mill a narrower track.
Note: On the Universal Cutter, the milling width can be set in 4 µm incre-
ments; on the Micro Cutter it can be set in 2.3 µm increments.
3. Perform a milling test run and check the width with a measuring
microscope.
4. Repeat the process until the milling track has the desired width.
[ ] The milling width corresponds to the desired setting.
