    I am an noob…. I am looking to surface my spoiler board and set up my Z zero. Does anyone have a step by step for the flattening wizard. I have a SPAM 1500x1500. I want to set this up and not start destroying anything. I use fusion 360 and open builds black box. I have it programmed in fusion, but I want to use the flattening wizard to flatten and put my t-slots and cam lock holders in. I have my home at xyz - positions, and it homes fine.

    Enter appropriate parameters into wizard to create GCODE.
    Zero on top of the spoilboard, in the front left corner, and run the job.

    I have a zeroing plate. Can I use that it should I just do the paper trick for x zero?

    You are going to skim off an uneven surface to begin with. Eyeball is good enough as a start point - it lowers down to the "skim depth" you enter from there

    So this would be xy- and z+ for all home and set x negative to just short of switch. Y as far positive as I need for table, and z as far negative to touch off.
    ok got it. So make a pass, check and zero and run another pass if everything isn’t flattened

    correct


    No, You ZERO the "stock" which in this case is the spoilboard. Front, Left, right on top of the surface of the spoilboard
