I. Installation of the machine

1. After receiving the machine, please unpack it and take it out gently to check whether it is damaged.

2. Verify the packing list of CNC router carefully and check whether the accessories are complete.

If there is any question, please contact your dealer.

Take one of our routers for example: CNC 3040 800W four-axis router

Introduction of the main components of small-sized CNC router:

Please assemble and join up it according to the above picture, take out M6 and M5 screws
from tool box, and lock them firmly into corresponding holes.
1. First, the coupling and screw rod must be connected well when installing stepper, lock the four screws
firmly to fix stepper, then rotate hand wheel gently, making the set screw inside the coupling align to the flat
position of screw rod head, after that lock it firmly. Twist the black hand wheel of stepper by hand, if 3 axes
can move clockwise and counter-clockwise smoothly, which means it is in normal operation, if chucking,
abnormal sound or no driving of the motor screw rod occur, please check whether there is gap between both
ends surface in time or whether the set screws on the coupling are tightened enough, etc.

4
 2. First, please power off the controller, connect aviation plug with it and ensure good contact, we advise user
to make ground connection of the router, connect one end of the USB with the controller, the other end with
computer.
3. A axis can be placed in vertical position along Y axis (see the above picture) or in horizontal position along
X axis.
Notice: the water pump must be completely immersed in tap water, otherwise it can be damaged. Moreover,
the water pump has magnetism, so there should be no metal residue in the water, for too many metal residues will
affect the usage quality of the water pump.
After installation of all the above mechanical parts and ensuring good contacts, install the software next.
II. The installation of software
(1) Configuration of hardware equipment:
USB interface, it is suitable for any netbook with a USB interface, notebooks, desktops and tablet PC compatible
computer
Operating environment: Windows xp or Windows 7 32bit(64 bit)
(2) Compatible software
1. Compatible with various CAD/CAM design software, such as Mach3/TYPE3/Art CAM/ARTCUT
and so on.
2. Order format: Code G (tap,nc,ncc,text)
(3) Installation of software
Put the a Connect one end of USB to cnc controller and the other end to computer. This product adopts free
driver design, and can be detected by windows system automatically and it is not necessary for user to install
extra device driver. If user uses Win7 operating system, it will prompt the following information:

Now please refer to prompt [click here to view status], click and view. Click to select 【skip acquiring
driver program software from Windows Update】, to skip Win7 system updates.
If the user use Windows XP version, JFT thin motion control card can be plugged and played without prompt
messages.
System detection will take about 10 seconds when it is your initial connection of JFT thin motion control card.
The blue state lamp on the card will be light after it is detected correctly by system. In this way, we know it is
available.
Next, start Mach3 software. It will pop up a selection interface of control devices when starting Mach3
software. As the following picture shows:

5
 Please select 【JFT motion control card- ECO-V2.0】, and check 【don’t ask this any more】, then it will select
JFT thin motion control card as motion control device automatically when starting Mach3 software.
III. settings of Mach 3 system software
1. settings of the port
(1). Select set→Metric/British Alternative, as the following picture

(2). Select Set→ Port/Pin→ Motor Output, define parallel port pin, please set according to the contents in the red frame, as the
following picture shows
Among which, Step pin refers to pulse, Dir Low refers to direction.
Notice: after setting, if you find the moving direction of the axis is wrong, you just need to tick or cross in Dir Low of corresponding
axis to change the direction.

2. Settings of motor configuration

(1) Select Set→ Motor Debug Menu, and set X axis first according to the picture below,

6
 Our company’s standard configuration of all the ball screws is Model 1605, set the motor parameter of each axis (take 1605 ball
screw, with a diameter of 16 for example, the screw pitch is 05, for other screw rods, refer to actual situations) the angle of this
57-stepper motor is 1.8 degree. About the step drive, take 8-subdivision for example:
Computing methods of Steps per mm:
(1) If your machine is Model 1605, the subdivision of the stepper motor drive of the ball screw_ (360/ the angle of stepper motor)/
screw pitch of screw rod 8X (360/1.8)/5=320 (refer to the above picture) (for ball screws please set according to this)
(2) Other configurations like Accelerated speed, step-by-step impulse, direction pulse remain unchanged
Notice: remember to press “save settings” after completing settings of each axis. Click “confirm” to exit
So are the same with Y axis and Z axis.
(2) Settings of rotating axis---A axis
If your router has the fourth axis---rotation A axis, you have to set A axis, take (stepper angle: 1.8 degree, reduction ratio of A axis: 6,
subdivision: 8) for example, the computational method of Steps per mm: (360/ stepper angle*subdivision* Synchronous reduction
ratio)* 360=360/1.8*8*6=26.66666666, for other settings, please refer to the picture below.

If replace A axis with X axis or Y axis, then the corresponding impulses of X axis or Y axis: 9600/ Circumference of the
round bar
IV. Testing of the machine

7
 (1) Manual test
1. After setting the above items without error, ensure well-connected aviation plug and parallel port line.
First, without power on, you feel easy and smooth to twist the hand wheels of three stepper motors by
hand; then turn on the POWER switch of the CNC controller, at this moment, three stepper motors should be
self-locked, twist the hand wheels again, you will feel they are more tightened before power on, this is called
“self-locking with power on”. (If they are not self-locking, check whether the stepper cable is plugged well,
and whether power on) turn on the POWER switch (I is on-state) the indicator lamp of power is light, rotate
the “stop” switch clockwise to flick, it is shown as the right picture.

Press “urgent reset” button in MACH3 software, then it doesn’t flick any longer, see the picture below.
Notice: if it still flicks all the time, please check whether 6 limit switches of the three axes on the rack are flicked, if they are in
closed and short-circuit condition, press the limit shrapnel with your finger gently to flick it, and then return to MACH3 software
interface on the computer.

Before pressing after pressing

2. Move each axis by using keyboard shortcuts:
Notice: before running, please confirm that the green light is kept on of the inching switch in Mach3.

Press Tab key of the keyboard and call out the manual control panel of MACH3, as the right
picture shows;
Press X, Y, Z button respectively to see whether router’s 3 axes are running;
You can also use direction keys to control as the following picture shows.

Keys Function

Left arrow cursor← Reduce X axis

Right arrow cursor → Increase X axis

Up arrow cursor ↑ Increase Y axis

Down arrow cursor ↓ Reduce Y axis

Page UP Increase Z axis

Page Down Reduce Z axis

Num Lock number 3 Increase A axis

Num Lock number 4 Reduce A axis

Notice: if the direction is wrong, please look over motor output (4) on page 7 to amend.
3. Take the CNC controller of small-sized router with spindle power of no higher than
800W for example, see the right picture

Software control spindle

Set the maximum speed according to the rated power of spindle motor, see the picture below

8
Then click “spindle speed” as the following picture shows and input a revolving speed, after that click “spindle rotates
clockwise F5”, at last the spindle rotates clockwise.

500w control box machine Settings .Apply power control box, spindle speed control panel will be displayed 00, such as the red
circle .Top speed of 24000 to 14000. Then test the spindle is normal operation.

（2）testing of computer software

In mach3 mill software, click “return to the machine origin” after ensuring that all limit switches
function, the machine origin is at the top right corner of machine tool.
Click “upload G codes”, as the right picture shows, load “test program”,
corresponded with machine tool model in the CD, then click “loop begins”, if the
machine runs normally without abnormal sounds, then the test is qualified, otherwise, please
check the wiring.
Notice: please return to machine tool origin each time when starting up.

V. How to use the router

1. Clamping material
As the following picture shows, use pressure plate to fix the engraving material on the router’s
workbench; notice: “equal height screw” needs to be adjusted as high as the thickness of the carving
material, don’t use too much strength when tightening the screw, in case it pulls and deforms workbench’s
T-slot. Consider the carving dimension when clamping the material and leave enough space for spindle
motor’s chuck, to avoid the spindle tool touching pressure plate when caving. If you often carve materials
of various thicknesses, you had better go to metal products shop to buy M6 screws of various lengths for
spare (such as M6*20， M6*25， M6*30，M6*35，M6*40……M6*70).

9
2. Tool setting
Fox example, when creating tool line, set the material’s central point (the location of the material’s diagonals) as the
origin, and move the tool to the material’s central point to reset X axis and Y axis. Move Z axis till it exactly touches the
material, then reset Z axis. Now the last point is the origin.
Notice: if you want the tool setting more convenient and precise, choose our Z axis feeler block or Mach3 wireless hand
wheel.
How to use Z axis feeler block:
(1) First, measure the thickness of the feeler block with vernier caliper precisely, for it will have direct influence on the
precision of tool setting, input the value into the character frame (e.g. 20) then press Enter to save the value, as shown
in the picture below.

(2) As shown in the picture, place the feeler block on the engraving material, then adjust Z axis manually to proper
location, when the tool setting triggers, Z axis will rise 5mm automatically, therefore, ensure that there is more than 10
mm distance to rise after adjusting Z axis. When performing the tool setting task, the automatic cutting depth of Z axis is
only 30mm, therefore the space between Z axis tool nose and the feeler block surface should be no more than 30mm,
when adjusting manually, otherwise the tool nose will stop without touching the feeler block. After adjustment, clamp the
hilt with clamps on the red cable.
(3) Turn on the controller’s power switch, click “Z tool setting” in MACH3, Z axis declines slowly, it will stop
immediately when the tool nose touches feeler block surface, then it rises 5mm automatically.
(4) Take away the feeler block, finish the tool setting. Remember not to clear the coordinate data of Z axis (must be
retained as the above picture shows). Input the tool line to start carving now. (you can input tool line file then set, or set
first then input too line file).
3. Input the tool line codes
In mach3 software, click “upload G codes” to input G coded
4. Start carving
In Mach3, click “loop begins”, now three axes linkage of the router runs then it starts carving.
Next, let’s learn about how to realize automatic starting up and closing of the spindle motor synchronously. For the
operator who has no knowledge of programming and G codes, it is fantastic. But it’s more fantastic for us to learn the
professional knowledge systematically, only for realizing this function. We provide a shortcut for users (especially how to
10
translate G codes with ARTCUT), we just need to add the command of spindle control into the ready tool line codes.
Use 5 main codes: M03—— spindle rotates clockwise, M05—— spindle stalls, F500——feed /minute, S10000——
spindle speed 10000 RPM, M30—— return to the program header

Methods: Add a line above the first line of your tool line codes: M03 S15000
Add a line behind the second line of your tool line codes: F1000
Add a line below the last line of your tool line codes: M05M30

VI. Maintenance of the machine

1. Each time after carving, you need to turn off spindle and power switch first and then clean the debris, produced
during carving in time.
2. Lubricate the guide rail, bearings, screw rod once per month; wipe the guide rail with clean cotton cloth which dips
the high-speed white oil (sewing-machine oil), paint some grease (a kind of high-class white lubricating grease) on the
screw rod, then start up the machine to run back and forth for several times, at last repeat the lubrication for once. Notice:
never use butter.
3. Check the cables in the drag chains at least once per month and loosen the tight cables in time and ensure that each
cable in the drag chains is loose. For these cables bend frequently during carving, if they are too tight, it is easy to result
in poor contacts due to the fracture of internal copper wires, thus making the stepper motor out of control.
4. Check the screws everywhere each month, tighten it in time if it is loose.
5. If the machine won’t be used for a long time, maintain it with thorough oiling, then pack it well with plastic film and
place it in dry place.

VII. Knowledge of router tools

1. Recommend single blade spiral tool for Acrylic cutting process, because it is smokeless, tasteless during processing,
and with fast speed, high efficiency, no sticking crumbs, extremely thin strips, smooth and clean surface; milling
tool of both edges or pillar tool can also be applied to the Acrylic thin plate of several millimeters thick.
2. Recommend the single blade aluminum dedicated milling tool for aluminum plate cutting process. It doesn’t stick the
tool with fast speed and high efficiency during processing. Both edge metals milling tool can also be used if the
facet doesn’t have high demands.
3. Recommend round bottom graver for precise and small-sized relief process on the non-metal
materials.
4. Recommend single edge or both edges helical ball-head milling tool for large-scale deep relief process
on softwood, density board, original wood, PVC Acrylic materials.
5. For metal carving process, use metal dedicated tungsten steel coated single edge or both edges milling
tool, dedicated flat bottom tool.
6. Recommend straight slot milling tool or both edges large chip removal milling tool for density board,
solid wood, composite board, and clamp plate.
7. For metal mould process, use tungsten steel milling tool, and plate the surface purple-black with hard
titanium.
11
 8. For carving on jade or stone materials, use diamond graver.
9. For carving images and characters on the surface of copper, hard aluminum alloy, select both edges
metal pointed tool.

III. Copper CAM software (PCB tool line)

How to generate processing document?

As follows: PROTEL→ GERBER→ Copper CAM→ Apply Mach3 control system call and output the saved document
Introduce each step respectively below:
After designing and saving PCB (printed circuit board) file, how to generate the executable processing document to
drive the machine to carve the PCB that we need?
Take the high-sensitivity wireless snooping device .PCB document for example.
Open *.PCB document (or open DDB document directly), we will see the design document shown as below:

Select the “New” under “File”, generate the page as the following picture shows and select the first item “CAM output
configuration”

Select OK continuously till it generates the page as the following picture shows.
19
After selecting “Gerber” press (Next) continuously to the layer selection page,

Select the layer used in the cabling, (notice: Bottom Layer, Top Layer and Keep Out Layer must be selected), press
“Next” to generate the page as shown in the next picture.

20
Set as the above picture shows, Units: Millimeter, Format: 4:4 (that is exact to four digits behind decimal point), click
(Finish) to generate Gerber file: Gerber output1
Click Gerber output1, then select Generate CAM Files, it is shown as the following picture:

The computer will automatically generate bottom layer (*.GBL), top layer (*.GTL) and keep out layer (*.GKO) for you,
you can press the left mouse button to click CAM for (document name) under Explorer; at this moment, *.GBL，
*.GTL，*.GKO，*.TXT will show on the right side of computer screen.
According to the same steps, generate PCB Drill files NC Drill, whose format is *.TXT as the following picture shows

21
 At present, what we should continue: export respectively *.GBL, *.GTL,*.GKO, *.TXT (right click *.GBL and
select Export) and save the files, GBL, GTL, GKO, TXT become the filename extension automatically. These saved files
will be open in CopperCAM software later and generate files of all tool lines, so as to make mach3 control system output
into the router.
After generation of Gerber files and Drill files, we need to unify their coordinates.
The default coordinate system of Drill is not center plots on. Right click Gerber output1 file, select (properties),
select Advance as the following picture shows, and remove √ “Center plots on” under “Other” option, click OK then
finish.
The options of Protel vary with different versions, for Protel version with sp6, Gerber output1 file, select (Properties)
and then Advanced, select “reference to relative origin”. Because it is Drill’s default coordinate system.

Adopt the default setting (properties of Gerber output1) of protel software for other options:
For example, suppress leading zero is for Gerber files, while for drills it is suppress trailing zero, which has some

22
influences on information extraction of the software.

For single-layer PCB, we should export the *.GTL file and *.TXT file respectively and save them.
For double-layer PCB, we should add one more bottom file *.GBL
For outline cutting, we should add one more Keep Out Layer *.GKO

3-2 Introduction of Copper CAM software

Install copper CAM software

Run the shortcut of Copper CAM on the computer

Enter into the software’s main interface:

File-- Machine-- Edit-- Display--Parameters-- Help--

The definition of shortcut toolbar is shown in the pictures below: Picture 1:

23
Picture 2:

Open single-layer file 1.GTL from copper CAM software

The effect after opening is shown in the following picture:

24
Please add tool model in Tool library in Parameters:

Number—the serial number of the tool, many tools can be added;

Name—tool’s name, Engraving tool –the carver used for carving and isolation (belongs to flat bottom sharp tool), Basic
tool—outline tool (straight knife), Drilling tool—drill tool (straight knife drill);
Diameter—hilt diameter (usually it is 0.3-2mm);
Profile—shape of the tool, cylindrical--, conical-- (flat bottom sharp knife, selectable angle of the tool Angle-20-60°)
After adding the tool, press OK to confirm. Add the tools you may use in the same way.
After adding all the tools, click Parameters, then selected tools, shown as the picture below:

Select flat bottom sharp knife for isolation usage from ENGRAVING TOOL, Depth—the cutting depth, usually it is
0.1-0.2mm;
Select the model of flat bottom sharp tool used in carving and milling from HATCHING TOOL; and select the cutting
depth;
Select the straight tool used in cutting outline from CUTTING TOOL, and select the cutting depth;
Select the tool for positioning from CENTERING TOOL, usually select 0.4-0.8mm straight knife.

In DRILLING TOOLS:
Use one single tool for all drills, with circular boring--
Use for each drill the closest smaller tool, with circular boring
Use for each drill the closest greater tool, without circular boring
If choose the first, we only need one tool for all drills during the process of our drilling;
If choose the second and the third, we also need to choose suitable drill tool in “Selected tools” below, but in actual
processing, more drill files are added, the amount of work increases too, because the tool of one model has one drill file.
25
Allow circular boring for all drills over---it can be decided according to practical situations.
Drilling depth--- for general PCB it is 1.6mm, but it had better be more than 1.6mm;
It’s not necessary to change other options. Then confirm.

Now, we can isolate the current PCB; click the isolation function under Tool Menu, as the following picture shows:

Only after finishing isolation, can we mill or engrave partly.

Select Apply to all layers and Use simplified calculation (faster) as the above picture shows, then click OK.

PCB circuit generates tool path, as the following picture shows:
