Chapter 3 Getting Ready for and Performing Cutting
3-4 Setting Cutting Conditions
Spindle Speed
NOTICE
Adjust the spindle speed to match the material being engraved. Depending on the material, a spindle speed that is too
fast may cause the material to melt.
Turn the rpm knob on the control panel to change the spindle speed.
Cutting Speed
Turn the SPEED knob on the control panel to change the cutting speed (tool-movement speed.) Although the appropriate
setting may vary depending on the tool and the type of material, use the following settings as a guide.
Engraving
Scoring
The tool-lowering speed also changes accordingly.
When the values set within the application software or the driver are sent after adjusting the cutting speed on the EGX-30A,
the software and driver values are changed. Conversely, you can also change the cutting speed by rotating the knobs on the
EGX-30A after starting a cutting operation using the software and driver values.

Note:
In performing engraving, never set
the cutting speed at any faster than
that shown in the figure.
If the cutting speed is too fast,
troubles including an inaccurate
output position may occur. It may
even damage the cutter or result in
malfunction of the machine depend-
ing on circumstances.
