What needs to be considered when changing a mould?

If you want to use a different tool for your router or replace a tool, there are a few things you need to bear in mind.

• ATTENTION:
  Before installing the new tool, completely loosen the union nut of the chuck once. Clean the chuck and the motor shaft. Degrease the chuck and the tool with acetone before installation.
  If the chuck is dirty, the tool may come loose. This can result in damage to the milling table.
• After changing the tool, you must reset the zero point of the milling machine in the GP Manager. How you set the zero point depends on the type of milling machine you have. You can refer to Youtube For most milling machines, watch a video explaining how to set the zero point.
• In rare cases, you may want to use a tool with a different diameter. In this case, you must enter the diameter in the INI file for your milling cutter under ".\GpSystem\Fraese", the folder is a subfolder of the GP Manager (How to find your GP Manager installation).
  • If you are not sure which milling machine to use, please also read "How can I recognise which type my milling machine has?„
• You must then recreate any existing milling files. The milling files still contain the old values for diameter and zero point. If you use these, the insert will not be milled correctly.
• When buying a tool, you should pay attention to the direction of rotation of the tool. If you purchase tools from us, you will always get the correct direction of rotation.
