Once the message above disappears, press and hold down the Z Down Jog Button until the cutter tip
touches the engraving material, then continue moving the spindle down for another 0.030 - 0.050
inches (0.75 - 1.25 mm). This is called "pre-loading" the adapter. Pre-loading the EZ Rider Burnishing
Adapter sets the pressure applied by the cutter on to the material. More or less pre-load can be used,
depending on the material to be engraved. The LCD display can be used to view the Z position, and
assist in the pre-loading procedure.
To toggle the jog speed, press the B3 Button.
Once the correct Z position has been set, press the Start button
to set the surface position. The
spindle will then move up.
HINT: There is a quick way to set the surface just prior to engraving a job. To do this, send a job to the
machine to be engraved. Press Pause. Press Start. The spindle will move to the first point to be
engraved and pause. You can then jog the Z down until the proper pre-load is achieved, then press Set
Surface to set the surface. Pressing Start will begin the engraving process.
In the following example job, a burnishing file will be set up and run on coated brass material.
