To Perform Scribing
Scribing is a form of engraving that involves scraping the workpiece. The spindle is not rotated. This does not perform deep
cutting-in, but it produces an engraving with a distinctive texture and little burring. It is suited for use with light metals such
as aluminum or brass plates.
1. Installation
To perform scribing, use the 3D cutting mode. Remove the depth regulator unit. Also detach the cutter holder and install
the burnishing attachment instead.
The methods for attaching the diamond scraper and setting the origin point are the same as for an ordinary tool. Follow the
same procedure as for use in 3D cutting mode.
2. Program Operation
Program operation is similar to the procedure for creating a nameplate. Use Dr. Engrave.
For the cutting parameters set using the driver, make the following settings at the printer-setting [Properties] page.
[Tool]
1. For [Material], select [Scribing].
2. For [Z Down Position], enter -5 mm, and for [Z Engraving Pitch], enter 5 mm.
[Options]
Select the [Engrave with Spindle OFF] check box to make the setting for performing engraving without rotating the
spindle.
