of injury.

Nose-unit usage Not Used
Suitable workpiece types Aluminum, brass

Lock-lever position
This performs engraving without using the nose unit. This method doesn’t scrape the surface of the workpiece, so you can
also use it with materials such as aluminum or brass. Note, however, that the Z-axis origin point is fixed and unchanging, so
in order to obtain a uniform cutting-in depth, the thickness of the workpiece must also be uniform.
1.
Install the cutter holder and solid collet.

Install the cutter holder.
While holding the spindle unit immobile with
a wrench, tighten the cutter holder.
The cutter holder is reverse-threaded (that is, you
turn it counterclockwise to tighten it). Be careful
to turn it in the correct direction.
