Using an eMach EM900 machine with the pendant controller

Can anyone improve the route below ?

I'm trying to remember how to set-up the work and axis before starting cutting, watched a few U Tube clips and have decided on the route I have written...



In VCarve (Or your program for designing etc) set machining datum to TOP of workpeice for eachmaterial at material CENTRE for X & Y for all work designs

Insert pointer rod into tool collet to use as alignment tool for workpieceedges along X axis, mark workpiece centre using lines across from corners with a pencil.
Align workpiece edge along X axis using pointer and handsetrapid along workpiece edge and move work to align with x Axis before clampingetc
Clamp, stick, or whatever the workpiece to wherever requiredon table/platen
Using handset find drawn centre marker, jog to exactly the centreof the X marked on job eyeing up the cross lines.
Remove pointer after zeroing WORKPIECE axis X & Y todatum centre drawn lines in your pendant or software
Fit required cutting tool for the job into collet ready for Z Axissetting
Using handset set tool to “Touch Off” at job top face. Justkissing the top face
Zero Z axis using pendant or your software. Axis setting is now complete.
Ensure workpiece is fixed ready for use.
Reduce feed rate, start machine after loading required G code/Design and watch for issues, increase rate whensatisfied all is Ok.
