WARNING

CAUTION
Type of cutter used
Nose-unit usage
Suitable workpiece types
Automatic Z-axis control
Spindle rotation
Lock-lever position
This performs engraving without using the nose unit. This method doesn't scrape the surface of the workpiece, so you can
also use it with materials such as aluminum or brass. Note, however, that the Z-axis origin point is fixed and unchanging, so
in order to obtain a uniform cutting-in depth, the thickness of the workpiece must also be uniform.
1.
Install the cutter holder and solid collet.
