Place the stock material on top of the spoilboard and align it by measuring off the edge of the spoilboard.
When you are happy with the alignment you can screw the stock material down. Make sure you do not place any screws in an area where the cutter will travel through them. The image below shows the zones outside the cut path. (if you are using 650mm x 650mm stock)
When your spoilboard and stock material are fixed, it’s time to position the rollers on the Upper X Beam over the stock material. There are rollers on both sides of the beam and they can slide along the full length.
When the rollers are correctly positioned, you can drop the Upper X Beam onto the stock material and clamp it in place making sure that it is level Check that all the rollers are making contact with the stock material.
