FYI the Z Axis on a Robin can be set at up to plus or minus 15 degrees from the horizon so this should make producing a ribbon easy, still waiting for the Robin to fly across North America and the Atlantic and land in my workshop. Andy told me it will fly soon, that was before he migrated back to Salt Lake from London today.

Lift the blade 1/32 of an inch on the side facing your direction of travel. Lets say it will take 4 passes to cover 100% of the stock you are milling. Every time you start back up, you are at the top edge of the previous cut. You will have to lift the blade 1/32" to keep from digging into the last cut. If you have lifted the 1/32nd 4 times you will a lip of 4/32 or 1/8th of an inch. Your 4 cut surfaces are all smooth but getting gradually bigger scrolling down the piece.

I would have thought that by tilting the base, you are taking the bit off the square and so one edge of the cutter would dig in lower than the side with the spacers. Then in step one he says to put another spacer to bring it back to the proper angle. also He does not say which side you should insert the spacers to,or how thick the spacer should be. Help.....I really can't my head round this!
