1) Measure the work piece (block) using a Vernier calipers and record it dimensions, making sure

we have a work piece with excess material than our final dimensions.
2) Place the workpiece in the vice. Make sure work piece is secure and unable to move.
3) Set the cutter to 0 in relation to the workpiece.
4) Turn on the coolant and make sure the work piece is lubricated.
5) Using a torn piece of paper, place it on the work piece and then manually adjust the height of
the table until the cutter head touches the paper.
6) Set the current set up to 0.
7) Remove the paper and move the work piece away from the cutter blade horizontally and turn
on the machine.
8) Spin the handle to move the workpiece along the cutting blade twice to achieve an equal and
smooth surface (zeroing).
9) Assuming we have an excess of 0.5 on all sides of the workpiece, the height of the table is
adjusted by 0.02mm intervalley after every cut until we have removed the excess 0.5mm
material form the work piece
10) Zeroing is repeated every time when starting on a new side. (Repeat step 8)
11) Step 9 is repeated to remove the excess material from the workpiece.
12) After we have finished milling the work piece, the workpiece is removed form the vice and the
edges are filed.
