I would add the requirement to check the spindle for debris. Not the first time someone cooks the bearings.
| An audible click should be heard. | ||

| * The tool should be in the collet as deep as possible, | ||
| but such that the collet is not covering the cutting edges of the tool. |

The collet should not clamp the cutting edges so it does not damage the blades, to be more accurate

|

| * When attaching the tool, the locking button of the spindle has to be pressed in. | ||
| * Screw the clamping nut onto the spindle as much as you can with fingers, then use a 17 mm wrench. + | ||
| * Do not attach the clamping nut very tightly - when you later have to remove the collet, using too much force |

Would word as moderate force. It can not be too loose or the tool might come undone. I would compare it so that the machine splindle should be moved by the fastening force when fastening the collet.

| The zero point should be set based on the location of your Work Coordinate System in your CAM. | ||
| Set the zero point to be 5 mm from the edge of the workpiece when |

Would emphasize the X and Y axis here as well.

| Load in the final outer contour milling G-code and go over the workpiece with the mill, | ||
| referencing the screen in UCCNC. | ||
| You can see when the tool goes over the contour, if it still stays on the workpiece. |

I would connect the two sentences with a statement and then a reason. Currently it reads as 2 separate statements.
| These will help you recover the X and Y position in the case of sudden power loss. | ||

|
||
| *DO NOT PERFORM ANY MORE X AND Y ZEROING AFTER THIS.* + | ||
| You will be using the same X and Y zero point for the whole milling process. |

Should we save the machine coordinates of the 0-point in case of catastrophic errors?
| * Remove the TLS from the table and make sure that the wire is not on the table and | ||
| isn't caught between the Y-axis motors. | ||

| Attach the vacuum to the hose that is attached to the spindle. |

I would also validate that there is suction reaching the splindle
