Sled
Bob,
When measuring the length of the Sled/Board, the machine starts looking for the end after it comes out from under the roller I believe. So, if you have the end fillers of 3.5", it will find the ends correctly.
When it measures the sled/board in the Y direction, it is just looking for a big "drop-off" so, where it measurers across the piece, you have to either fill that area, cover it with paper, or run a couple of strips of tape across it so the sensor has something to see.
I hope that this makes it less fearful.
