If the bit was zeroed to the top of the spoil board, click “Yes.”
Turn on the power to the router/spindle. If
using a router, engage the power switch, then
turn the interlock key switch clockwise.
Click “OK”. The tool will make two passes around the perime-
ter of the deck, creating a rabbet approximately 1/8” wide by
3/8” deep.
Keep in mind:
The center section of the deck represents the cutting area
of the Desktop, 18” x 24”.
The left front (lower) corner represents the home position
for the X- and Y-axes.
The router returns to this position after completing a cut-
ting program.
Home position aligns with the center of the bit.
Most X and Y measurements for designing and routing are
based off this location.
