generally run the machine at higher speeds. If you are using a rotary cutter, you will need to adjust the
speed depending on what type of material you are cutting. Harder materials, such as acrylic and
engraver's brass, will need to be engraved at slower speeds. Softer materials such as engraver's plastic
can be engraved at higher speeds. A rule of thumb for setting the engraving speed is to start off
engraving at a slow speed, then gradually increase the engraving speed while the machine is engraving.
Increase the speed until you get to a speed where it sounds like the machine is working freely. If your
speed is too fast, the machine will sound like it is working very hard, or putting a heavy load on the
engraving spindle. If this happens, you can possibly dull the engraving cutter or the engraving quality will
not be very good. Fortunately, engraving speeds presets for most materials are sent to the engraver with
the job file. There is much less trial and error as a result.
down into the material. Typically, you can leave the speed at it's maximum setting, unless you are
engraving into hard materials such as acrylic or deep engraving into metals. In cases such as these,
slow the speed down using the Z SPD - button. Again, this is part of the presets sent to the engraver
after a material is selected in the Vision software.
speed (RPM) of the engraving spindle. You would change the RPM of the engraving spindle depending
on the type of material you are engraving or for different sizes of engraving cutters. The harder the
material you are using, the higher the RPM you would use. Also, the larger the cutter you are using, the
higher the RPM you would use. A rule of thumb for setting the spindle speed is to start out at a higher
RPM. You can gradually lower the RPM while the machine is working. Keep lowering the spindle speed
until the spindle sounds like there is a load (or drag) on the spindle. When you reach that point, you
should turn the spindle speed knob up a little bit. The spindle speed also has presets based on the
material selected in the Vision software.

engraving, pressing the Start button will resume the job.
