Example Job 1 - Diamond Drag - Vision VE810 S5 User Manual

56 Vision VE810 S5 User Manual
With your finger at the bottom of the nose cone, loosen the cutter knob set screw and lower the cutter so
that the cutting tip extends below the bottom of the nose cone by approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm). Then
tighten the cutter knob set screw.
Power the engraver on by pressing the power switch. The line (-) on the switch will be pressed in. Set up
the job you would like to engrave in the Vision Software (for an example job, please refer to the following
section). Place the material on the t-slot table as described in the previous section. There is no need to
adjust the Z-Axis height of the machine (also known as Set Surface). In this type of engraving, the
Proximity Sensor will automatically sense when the cutter tip contacts the material and will adjust the Z-
Axis height and cutting pressure. Also, the spindle does not need to rotate. The material selection
(shown in the next section) will preset the engraver to turn the spindle rotation off and turn the proximity
sensor on.
