   - With the tool installed, make sure the bed is empty and the cover is closed before turning on the machine
   - Launch Carbide Motion on the Carbide computer
-  - Under "Jog" select "Home Machine" and allow machine to home
+  - Under "Jog" select "Home Machine" and allow machine to home itself
   - Select "measure tool" and the machine will use the automatic tool length measuring tool to zero out the tool
-  - Next while still under "Jog" position the tool on the work piece zero and zero out the machine by pressing "zero"
+  - Next while still under "Jog" position the machine can set part zero in three ways
+    - The less accurate way is to position the tool at part zero established in HSM Works by jogging the machine to the part zero location and pressing zero
+    - An edge finder can be used at the minimum RPM to find the part X and Y zero. The cutting tool can then be replaced in the spindle and re-zeroed using the automatic tool length touch off. Z zero can be established by sliding a paper of known thickness or a thin metal shim along the top of the part and slowly jogging the spindle down until slight resistance is felt on the shim from the tool tip. X and Y axles must then be adjusted by the radius of the edge finder, and Z Zero must be offset by the shim thickness
+    - The fastest way to establish part zero is by using the paper or shim on all three axis and offsetting X and Y by the radius of the tool plus shim thickness, and the Z axis by shim thickness.

   * After milling is completed, the work piece will have developed sharp burrs which must be removed with a hand file or sandpaper
 ====Safe Operating Procedures Review====
-  - Launch Cura version 4 (blue icon)
+  - Design part using Solidworks or other CAD platform
-  - From connected printers, select IW-Ultimaker3
+  - Using HSM Works or Carbide Create generate tool paths
-  - Select File -> Open Files -> Open desired project (.STL file type)
+    - Each different tool needs to be a separate job as only one tool can be loaded into the Carbide at a time
-  - Using task bar on the left hand side, position model as desired
+    - Use 2D and 3D clearing and pocketing to remove the bulk of the material while using "stock to leave" to allow for a finishing pass
-  - From print settings, select slice height, infill percentage, and support
+    - Simulate the toolpaths to verify that the tool will not crash and is cutting in the desired location
-  - Support can be generated using ether nozzle, typically nozzle one holds build material with nozzle two printing with dissolvable support material.
+  - Using the 17 and 11 mm wrenches loosen the collet nut to change out the tool or collet itself if switching shank diameter
-  - Setting can be fined tuned using the "Custom" option from print settings
+  - Home the machine and zero the tool using Carbide Motion under the "jog" heading using paper or a shim. DO NOT FORGET TO ADD OFFSET OF TOOL RADIUS AND SHIM THCINESS
-  - Within custom settings, nozzle and build plate temps can be adjusted (build plate temps should be based off of build material)
+  - Upload the G-Code into Carbide Motion under "load"
-  - Save the file from Cura on a thumb drive
+  - Start program
-  - Connect thumb drive to printer -> select desired file -> select print\\
-Note: Adjusting settings may lead to more (OR LESS) successful prints. Contact Workshop Wizard responsible for Ultimaker if print fails or knowledge of advanced settings is desired.
 ====Post Processing====
-  * If support was constructed from ABS carefully break away with pliers
+  * Use a file to debur the part
-  * If support was constructed from PVA soak part in warm water for several hours to dissolve support structure
 ====Maintenance====
   * Tools should be wiped clear of chips or coolant using an acid brush
