Unless you have some kind of fancy laser limit switch that could detect the edge of the bit the limit switch is based on where the structure trips the physical switch. Put the bit in and jog until it trips the limit and see where it stops. You should adjust the limit switch to be just inside the hard stops. Ideally you do want to surface the entire spoilboard so there is no ridge at the edge that could cause a long board to not lie flat if it extends past the edge of the spoilboard.i
You tell your CAM program what bit you are using, so it knows how wide the bit is and will use the full width of the bit to get to the edge of the specified area you are surfacing. I recommend you do the entire area as one path, not one for the edges and a separate one for the interior. It usually called “area clear” or something like that.
