We now need to secure the material to the table. In this example, a piece of MDF was clamped to the
table to use as a spoil board (sacrificial material) and a large piece of application tape was applied on
top of the MDF. Spray adhesive was applied to both the top of the application tape and directly to the
back side of the piece of sign foam. The sign foam was then pressed on to the application tape to
secure it. This is a similar hold down technique as is discussed in the Holding Down Material section of
this manual. Do not attempt to apply application tape to the back of the piece of sign foam. It will not
stick well enough to hold the material in place.
Once the material is held in place and the End Mill is installed in the spindle, we then set the surface for
the material (refer to the Set Surface Procedure in the Operations section of this manual, or Example
Job 7). We also will set the Home Position to the top left corner of our material (refer to the Set Home
Position procedure in the Operations section of this manual).
To send the job to the machine, select only the tool path in the Vision 9 software (remember, we are
sending only selected objects to the machine). Select the Engrave icon from the left toolbar. Verify the
Device and Tool setup, then send the job to the machine by clicking on the Engrave icon in the Cut
Toolbox.
