Type of cutter used
Nose-unit usage
Suitable workpiece types
Automatic Z-axis control
Spindle rotation
Lock-lever position
This performs scribing using a diamond scraper. With scribing, cutting is carried out by scraping the workpiece without
rotating the spindle. Because automatic Z control is set to "on, " the cutting-in depth for the workpiece is determined
by the pressure of the cutter. For this reason, this method is not suitable for deep engraving.
 Diamond scrapers are optionally available items.
 Diameter-3.175 millimeter diamond scrapers can be used with the included solid collet.
 Diameter-4.36 millimeter diamond scrapers cannot be used with the included solid collet. Provide an optionally available
dedicated diamond-scraper collet separately.
