Router Resurfacing

Resurface the CNC router and make the surface smooth again.

Shop Manager Only: Members should not resurface the table.

This toolpath uses a 3" surfacing bit. There is a -1.5" offset on the Y-axis so that you can Set Y Zero using the edge of the surfacing bit. It has a cutting depth of 0.02" (0.508 mm).

Depth of cut of more than 2mm may cause the spindle to stall due to overcurrent if there are high spots on the surface. Always do an initial cut well above the surface to check accuracy since this toolpath uses the entire surface of the bed.

Instructions

• Make sure router surface is clear. Raise spindle about 2" off the surface.

• Click on Ref All Home

• Zero the X Axis

• Move the Y Axis until the edge of the cutting bit is on top of the edge of the board.
