Holding Down Material
Secure the material on the t-slot table. It is best to use Multi Mat to hold the material in place. The multi
mat is great for holding the material when engraving and can also be used when profile cutting all the way
through thinner materials. Another procedure is to use a piece of sacrificial material on top of the Multi
Mat. DO NOT place the material to be cut directly on the t-slot table. If you do, then the cutter will cut
into the t-slot table and permanently damage the surface. Other methods for holding material down are in
the section Holding Down Material.
Setting Cut Depth for Engraver
To install the rotating cutter for engraving, 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. Insert the cutter into the top of spindle and lower it until the cutter knob can be screwed into
the spindle. Tighten the knob COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (when viewed from the top of the spindle) until it
is hand tight.
Then, you must zero the cutter. To do this, you must first turn the micrometer so that the pointer points
to 0. Note - it is helpful to first turn the micrometer to the left (clockwise) until threads just start to appear
on the spindle. This allows for sufficient depth adjustment when turning the micrometer to the right). Zero
the cutter, then set the engraving depth as described in the Rotary Engraving section.
Select the text to be engraved and then click on the engrave icon. Press the magnifying glass on the
machines touchscreen to preview the engraving area. When ready, press the play button to engrave the
material.
Setting Cut Depth for Cutter/Beveler Tool - Standard Method
If you have measured the thickness of the material to be cut, you can adjust the micrometer in two ways
1. Adjust the cutter to cut through the material PLUS 0.001 - 0.003 inches (0.0250 - 0.075 mm). This
method will produce a clean cut of the parts and lightly cut into the sacrificial material underneath, or
