Spindle Options
Increase your profits and engraving quality with the split collet spindle (see fig 9.7). Designed to be
extremely accurate and durable, the collet spindle is simple to use. This collet retracts around the
cutter gripping it at the bottom, while firmly holding on the top. By holding the cutter in two places
the cutter is virtually vibration-free and nearly eliminates play and runout. The split collet spindle
can engrave with excellent clarity and resolution while averaging a longer product life than any
other spindle.
The collet spindle accepts both top loaded and bottom loaded cutters, including 2" short shank
cutters such as drill bits, router bits, dremel tools etc. Should you ever want your split collet
spindle to act like a standard spindle, simply install our solid collet in the spindle
(available separately).
Diamond Drag Adapters
Using your plastic cutters to engrave metal can seriously damage them. There is a better option;
Vision offers high-quality diamond drag adapters. Don't burn out your bearings on a job that can
be done just as easily as cutting plastic. The diamond drag adapter engraves virtually all-metallic
surfaces, at high resolution and high speed. The results achieved with a diamond drag adapter
can be even more amazing when used with double- and triple-line fonts.
