How should I do a spoil board

[_Michael]

I use T-Track as well but mine run from side to side instead of front to back. Has worked well for me, never tried the ‘sea of holes’ because I tried T-Track first and never looked back.

plus using the surface to zero rater than material

In the post linked below you will find a link to a short video that will explain what Bill is talking about here. It’s a method to minimize spoil board damage so you don’t have to replace it as often. It might seem strange at first, especially being new, but you do have to learn how to set the origin point or zero your machine so I would suggest that if that video is confusing to watch it again after you have done a job or two with your machine.

Replacing my Spoil board 30X30

@gwilki linked this video awhile back and it helped me to not ruin my spoil board. Basically as the video says if your thickness is 19mm you set the bit so it just touches the spoil board and then in gSender you click on the Z number and enter -19mm and hit enter. Then when you cut through it will either cut all the way through or just leave like a sheet of paper thickness to clean up.
