4-1. Procedures for Performing Cutting Using a Computer
Before you send cutting commands from a computer, you first need to set the cutting parameters. You make the settings
for cutting-in depth, feed rate, spindle speed, and other values to match the cutter and the workpiece. The method you use
to make the settings differs from one program to another.
This machine starts operating immediately when it receives commands from a computer. However, you should close the
spindle cover before sending commands. For safety, the machine does not operate while the cover is open.
