Flattening bit doesn't touch waste board

I built my shapeoko 2 weeks ago…these are the pictures of the 201 bit and where it reached on carbide mdf. My post on z axis and wasteboard After I put a temporary spoilboard down the bit reaches fine. I will say that I like the fact that you’re required to have an additional spoilboard fitted on to your machine (as a noob) as I would have ruined the factory boards. The only thing I can suggest is that Carbide advertise this fact a little bit more. It’s not huge thing but it’s an easy fix.
