(Work in Progress) Height Adjustment Tool. When working without the Original Crumb Tray and Uncertified Material**. Should give you an quicker way to adjust and type in the material thickness, when using without the original crumb tray. Just measure the new crumb tray and the material thickness(in inches/decimals) and put into the corresponding areas. Should give a generally accurate measurement to put in for the adjusted material thickness. The highlighted colors meanings: Red(Too Large for the machine) Yellow (add more height to the bottom tray)
Please remember this is a work in progress
I was not able to open your file so I am not sure what you are sharing. We have several options in the free file section for tools to make for use without the crumb tray. Have you seen them?
All you need is the “set focus” tool on the dashboard. Why bother measuring, doing math and entering numbers when the machine is capable of doing all that for you?
Yeah i may give it another try later today, and hell if it works I’ll just remove this, since itsd be redundant…just have been hard pressed to try it anymore and waste anymore wood…lol
(edit: what @beerfaced just said) The trick with set focus is that you need to be sure it’s hitting your material surface. Look to see where the laser dot hits. It you’re trying to focus close to an edge, the dot may hit in the wrong place and measure something unexpected.
As for me, I tend to enter heights manually too. I use a step/depth measurement with my digital calipers, zeroed at 1.3", which is my tray height. No fuss no muss, and highly precise.
If you’re not familiar with how to do a step or depth measurement:
Welcome to the fun house!
Very nice of you to offer your take on making the task easier, thanks. There is one I use Here. Shim up the material to in between the lines, and use set focus.
