Spindle rotation
Lock-lever position
This performs scribing using a diamond scraper. With scribing, cutting is carried out by scraping the workpiece with-
out rotating the spindle. Because automatic Z control is set to "on," the cutting-in depth for the workpiece is deter-
mined by the pressure of the cutter. For this reason, this method is not suitable for deep engraving.
➢ Diamond scrapers are optionally available items.
➢ Diameter-3.175 millimeter diamond scrapers can be used with the included solid collet.
➢ Diameter-4.36 millimeter diamond scrapers cannot be used with the included solid collet. Provide an optionally
available dedicated diamond-scraper collet separately.
