4-4 Cutter Installation Method 1 (With Nose Unit)

Secure the cutter in place.
Tighten the mounting screw for the cutter
holder.

Make the setting for the cutting-in
depth.
Tighten the nose unit to match the
desired cutting-in depth.
The amount of extension of the cutter is the
cutting-in depth.
1 scale tick = 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.)
1 full turn = 0.635 mm (0.025 in.)
An amount of 4 to 8 scale ticks corresponds to 0.1
to 0.2 mm (0.004 to 0.008 in.).
Secure the nose unit in place with
the retaining screw.
This completes the installation of the cutter. Go on to page 75, “Setting the XY Origin Point (Home Position).”
Storage methods for diameter-3.175 mm cutters
When you want to perform repeated use while keeping the amount of extension of the cutter tip constant, then
once you’ve decided on the amount of extension, we recommend removing the cutter holder and cutter from the
spindle unit without separating them from one another. Storing the assembly without changing the position of
the cutter holder eliminates the need to determine the amount of cutter extension each time with every use.
Note, however, that this method cannot be used with the included diameter-4.36 millimeter solid collet.
