Step 1: Mounting Disc Workpieces on Adapters
Mount workpieces on adapters with unique ID labels. You can mount workpieces on any adapters so long as they have unique ID labels. In CAM software, specify the IDs of the adapters on which workpieces have been mounted to start milling.

-
Use a torque screwdriver to loosen the adapter screws (in four locations), turning them approximately four times.
IMPORTANT
Use the included spare screws when a screw is lost or worn.
-
Remove the adapter cap.
Turn the adapter cap in the direction of the arrows to remove it.
MEMO If you are using an open edge adapter, turn the adapter cap, and then lift up the adapter cap to remove it. -
Load the disc workpiece into the adapter base.
-
Attach the adapter cap to the adapter base.
-
Temporarily tighten the screws (in four locations) with a torque screwdriver so that their seats come into contact with the adapter cap.
To prevent workpiece damage, temporarily tighten the screws before fully tightening them.
-
Use a torque screwdriver to tighten the screws in four locations in the order shown in the following figure.
IMPORTANT
Switch to the torque screwdriver sleeve that matches the material you are using. Failing to do so may damage the workpiece.
The torques required when attaching workpieces of various materials are as follows.
Material Torque Zirconia 0.3 N·m Wax 0.3 N·m PMMA 0.6 N·m Composite resins 0.6 N·m PEEK 0.6 N·m PEKK 0.6 N·m Glass-fiber-reinforced resin 0.6 N·m CoCr sintered metal 0.3 N·m Gypsum 0.3 N·m Polycarbonate 0.6 N·m IMPORTANTTighten the screws until turning the handle of the torque screwdriver no longer turns the screw bit.
Also, to prevent workpiece damage, secure the workpiece evenly. Be sure to tighten the screws across the diagonals.
