Step 1 : Place the basswood board in the machine working area

Step 2 : Import the pen holder design into the software

If you don't focus, you won't achieve the desired results . So before you start, make sure you are focusing properly.

To focus, two options are available :

After processing is completed, the platform can be pressed to pop up and the workpiece can be taken out.
