3-1. Selecting the Cutter Installation Method
Cutter Types and What They Are Suited For
You can install any of a wide variety of tools on this machine. You can also choose whether to use the depth regulator
nose unit (nose unit). Choose a tool suited to the task at hand, and decide whether to use the nose unit.
Tool
Character cutter
Flat cutter
Diamond scraper
End mill
(*3)
*1 Use of the nose unit may not be suitable when performing raised engraving of text or flat-drag cutting over a large surface area.
In such cases, use without the nose unit.
*2 This is suited to relatively small text and can produce finished results that are more attractive and have less burring than
engraving with a character cutter. An optionally available solid collet for diamond scrapers is required to install a diamond
scraper.
*3 An optionally available collet set for end mills is required to install an end mill.
