204 Vision VR48 Series 4 Router User Manual
To set the surface, move the spindle over your material and lower it down using the Z Down button on
the Pendant until the cutter tip just touches the surface of the material. Press the Set Surface button on
the Pendant, then press Enter on the Pendant to set this position.
HINT: You can quickly determine when the cutter tip contacts the material surface by placing a piece
of paper in between the cutter and the material and sliding it back and forth while slowly lowering the
spindle. When you feel resistance, stop lowering the spindle and press the Set Surface button on the
Pendant, then press Enter on the Pendant to set this as the surface position. Using this method also
protects the material from being scratched by the cutter.
Once the surface has been set, select the Engrave icon from the left toolbar and make sure you have
selected the correct device and tool options for Sign Foam Engraving, then select the Engrave icon from
the cut toolbox to send the job to the machine.
WARNING: When not using the proximity sensor, the user MUST be prepared to use the
Emergency Stop to stop the machine in case the job was not set up properly and the cutter
continues to move down beyond the desired cut depth! If a set up error has been performed, it is
possible for the machine to drive the cutter into the engraving table, causing significant damage to
the cutter, spindle and table!
Use of the vacuum nose cone is highly recommended for this application.
