Flute Length –
The length of the cutting portion on a router bit or cutting tool.
Flutes –
The cutting edges or inserts of a router bit or cutting tool.
Finish Cut
– A 3D tool-path the reduces or eliminates the irregular contours left by the rough cut.
Form Bit
– A bit that carves a standard profile such as a round over, ogee or similar contours.
Gantry
– The frame structure that straddles the bed and carries the spindle. It moves on guide rails along the length
of the bed and is driven by the ball-screw system.
Gantry Bridge
– The part of the gantry that lies between the upright towers. The upper bridge carries the spindle
and cooling system. The lower bridge supports the weight of the gantry and affixes directly to the Y axis ball-screw.
Gantry Upright (Towers)
– Parts of the gantry that extend upward, supporting the upper gantry bridge.
G-Code
– A machine language that uses axis points and commands which the machine uses to move and perform
functions.
Grid
– The minimal movement units of the router. The router head automatically moves to the next grid position
when the directional button is toggled in either continuous or step mode.
HHC –
The handheld controller component of the control system.
Hold-down
– A clamp or other such device used to firmly hold a workpiece or fixture to the table. Includes clamps,
double-sided tape, vacuum pods and others.
Home Position
– Mechanical point set using magnetic limits switches.
MCM
– Machine Constant Parameters, allow manufacturer to define certain machine constants to match
specifications of the equipment and machining requirements.
Origin
– User designated zero point for the work piece. From which the router will reference the positioning of all
cutting.
Plunge
– The distance on the Z axis that the spindle and cutting tool moves toward, into, or along the material.
Plunge Rate
– The speed of descent of the spindle on the Z axis.
Pocket Tool-path
– A toolpath that creates a cavity in the horizontal surface of a work piece.
Positioning Dial
– Small dial, found on the lower right portion of the controller which is used for fine movement of
an axis using a present unit of measurement. Units are selected by using the Function F2 Key when on the Jog Screen
and can be cycled between MPGx100(0.1mm), MPGx10(0.01mm) and MPGx1(0.001mm).
Post Processor
– A software function that enables the CAD/CAM application to format G-Code enabling the control
system of a CNC to follow the designated toolpaths.
Profile Tool-path
– A tool paths that cuts along the profile of a set of vectors. Typically used to cut out the shape of a
design.
Proximity Switch
– A magnetic limit switch that is used to find the HOME position.
Rough Cut
– A 3D toolpath where the initial cut is designed to remove unwanted material, leaving a rough contour.
Selection Dial
–
Small dial, found on the lower left portion of the controller which is used to select one of several
sets of different operations.
