# Router Resurfacing

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Shop Manager Only:** Members should not resurface the table.
{% endhint %}

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).

{% hint style="danger" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

## 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.cherokeemakerspace.org/index/wiki/wood/cnc-router/router-resurfacing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
