+ | - An edge finder can be used at the minimum RPM to find the part X and Y zero. The cutting tool can then be replaced in the spindle and re-zeroed using the automatic tool length touch off. Z zero can be established | ||
+ | - The fastest way to establish part zero is by using the paper or shim on all three axis and offsetting X and Y by the radius of the tool plus shim thickness, and the Z axis by shim thickness. | ||

Many tools are optimized for different materials, and although a 2 flute endmill can do most operations, it is not always ideal. Single and duel high helix endmills are available for plastics, woods, and composits, with carbide endmills and burs available for abrasive materials such as glass fiber reinforced materials such as circuit boards. | Many tools are optimized for different materials, and although a 2 flute endmill can do most operations, it is not always ideal.

- | - From connected printers, select IW-Ultimaker3 | + | - Using HSM Works or Carbide Create generate tool paths |
- | - Select File -> Open Files -> Open desired project (.STL file type) | + | - Each different tool needs to be a separate job as only one tool can be loaded into the Carbide at a time |
- | - Using task bar on the left hand side, position model as desired | + | |
- | - From print settings, select slice height, infill percentage, | + | - Simulate the toolpaths to verify that the tool will not crash and is cutting in the desired |
- | - Support can be generated | + | - Using the 17 and 11 mm wrenches loosen the collet nut to change out the tool or collet itself if switching shank diameter |
