Maintenance

Lubricate Linear Rails

  • Check the oil level on the back of the spindle head, top off as needed
  • On Laguna control console, press the “Lubricant Pump” button
  • Release the button after a few seconds
  • After a few seconds, use the remote to manually jog the spindle through the full X,Y,Z range of motion to distribute the oil
  • Repeat this operation for every 15 hours of use or after the machine has been sitting idle for an extended period of time

Spoil Board Leveling

  • Minimum spoil board thickness is 0.5”
  • Be mindful of the position rods when leveling
    • Rods should be in the down position when cutting
    • Cutting depth should be at least 1/8” above position rods in stowed position
  • In Fusion 360
    • Create extruded rectangle corresponding to spoil board size
      • Alternatively use pre-made project https://a360.co/4aps348
    • Use ‘Flycut Template’
    • Make sure the stock thickness in setup is identical to model thickness
      • Model should not be centered within larger stock (e.g. 0.6” model in 1” stock)
    • Make sure origin is located at bottom of model
  • On Laguna Control Screen
    • Setup > CNC Positions
    • Set ‘Z-Spoil’ to 0.0
  • Set X,Y zero point on corner of stock
  • Run program, should remove less than 1/8” of material
  • After cut finishes, set ‘Z-Spoil’ to the stock thickness specified in Fusion
    • VERY IMPORTANT, DO NOT SKIP
