LPKF Protomat S62 PCB router-Setting universal router milling depth

1494 1 Nov 14.2019, 18:12:49

I have just produced my first board on this machine. However the track widths on the PCB do not match the widths in Kicad.
I have made a test line on the board and measured it with the microscope but the width of the line depends on the position of the tool in the tool holder. Position 1 (marking holes) has the same 8 mil universal router bit as position 2 (milling top layer) as has been requested by board master and yet they both have to be set up independently. The setting ring on the head is surely a global setting and effects all the tools place in the head. Does the router bit change it's depth whilst the board is being routed dependent on the insulation width needed or is the ring on the head the only way of setting this depth. 
Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks.
