Example Job 1 - Diamond Drag - Vision Engraving & Routing Systems Express User Manual

48 Vision Express 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.
Turn the engraver on by flipping the switch on the power supply. 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.
