Damage to the machine when using damaged tools and blanks

If tools or blanks are damaged, parts can break off and damage the machine during job execution.

  • Check the blanks and tools thoroughly for damage before every job execution.

When you have prepared your jobs and your machine, you can start machining. Machining is a fully automated process and only requires your attention in case of unexpected events.

Do not move the machine during job execution, otherwise the results may become imprecise.
