Diamond Drag Engraving

Engraving - Non Rotating
In this section, we will set up to engrave with a non-rotating cutter, such as a diamond drag cutter. The
figure below shows a spindle with a diamond drag cutter.
Spindle with Diamond Drag Cutter
First, to install the diamond drag cutter, loosen the set screw on the cutter knob with the supplied cutter
wrench and move the cutter knob to about the mid-point of the cutter tool, then lightly tighten the set
screw. Note that the set screw on the cutter knob is NOT a standard Allen screw. It is a Spline Wrench.
DO NOT attempt to turn the set screw with any tool other than the cutter wrench. Insert the cutter into
the top of spindle and lower it until the cutter knob can be screwed into the spindle. The cutter knob is
REVERSE threaded, so in order to tighten the cutter knob, turn the knob COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
(when viewed from the top of the spindle) until it is hand tight.
