1)
Load your glass with the open end to the left side of the attachment. The clamp is designed
to sit inside the glass and clamp the glass to the drive wheels. Insure the glass is all the
way to the left against the plastic stop.
2)
The elevator lock is in the unlock position when it is in the forward position. Unlock the
lock and slide the elevator left or right until the glass is supported solidly by the idler
wheels. The elevator can be raised or lowered with the adjustment knob to accommodate
glasses that have different diameters at either end.
3)
Lock the elevator lock.
4)
If you are engraving a bottle it is best to put the bottom of the bottle at the left side of the
attachment. Loosen the two thumbscrews that hold the clamp in place and slide the clamp
to your right and set it down on the engraving table so that you don't forget where you put
it. You will need it later for engraving glasses.
5)
If you are engraving a mug with a handle the two drive wheels can be reduced in width by
removing the two thumbscrews on the inside of each wheel.
FOCUS WITH THE ROTARY
1)
Place the focus gage on the lens carriage. Press “shift” and then use the “Move X” and
“Move Y” functions to get the focus gage directly over the area that you want to engrave.
Spin the knob after pressing each move key to get the position you want. If the item has a
taper pick an intermediate point between the highest and lowest points being engraved. The
display will give you the X axis position (Y axis position will not display) of the carriage,
which you can use in your drawing program to more accurately place your engraving. Press
“shift” to clear out the shift function. Then push “focus” and run the table up until the
gage just touches. Remove the gage. Press “reset” and then “online” and you are ready to
engrave.
DO NOT USE AUTOFOCUS.
