Edge Finding For Newbies

[Jonathan]

I get a piece of paper and hold it between the cutter and the job, then gently move the cutter to the job until the paper is just trapped. You can do this on the edge of the cutter and the face, for x,y, and z.

I do that too, adding 0.1mm for the thickness of the paper. Or get the cutter close, put the spindle on and move it so that you just hear it brushing.
