Face-off the work area (Optional but Recommended)

Secure the fixture to the wasteboard where you intend to use it using M5 cap screws using the slots on both sides.

Using the widest bit that you have carve the surface of the material inside the two lines until it is flat and parallel to the end of the bit stepping down by 0.005" (0.127 mm) at a time

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Rough-up the cutting area

Using 100 grit sand paper, lightly rough up the carving area that was just faced-off to give the tape a good surface for adhesion.
