Burnishing is different than standard rotary engraving in that you do not use the nose cone to set the depth of cut.
Burnishing does not actually cut deep into metals; rather it cuts the lacquered surface off of the coated brass and
aluminum material. To effectively burnish, it is recommended to use an optional ”EZ Rider“ burnishing adapter. This
helps to control the pressure of the cutter on to the material.
Screw the ”EZ Rider“ into spindle. Note that the ”EZ Rider“ will screw in counter-clockwise looking down from the top
of the spindle. Next, insert the cutter through the ”EZ Rider“ and through the spindle so that the cutter sticks out below
the nose cone approximately 1/8 of an inch. Tighten the setscrew in the ”EZ Rider“ with the special cutter wrench.
Turn the Vision Series 3 Controller on by flipping the switch on the back right side of the machine. Set up the job you
would like to engrave in the Vision Software or Vision Pro Software. (For more information on this, see the Vision
Engraving Software manual or Vision Pro Software manual.) Insert the material you would like to engrave into the MAX
Engraver as described in the next section. Use the X & Y jog keys on the Series 3 Controller to move the spindle out
over the material. Now press and hold down the Z down jog button until the bottom of the cutter touches the engraving
material. Once the cutter touches the material, press the Z down jog button a little bit more. This will ensure that the
depth of cut is consistent. Press the set surface button. The spindle will now move up approximately 1/8”. The distance
that the spindle moved up is the distance that the spindle will move up and down between letters. If you would like a
larger or smaller lift distance between characters, use the z jog up/down buttons to move the spindle to the lift position
you would like. Next, press the set surface button a second time. The spindle will move up to the z home position. The
surface is now set. Send the job from the computer to the Vision Series 3 Controller. You will notice that the light on the
start button on the Vision Series 3 Controller will be flashing.
Since we are using a rotary cutter, we need to have the spindle rotate. On the Vision Series 3 Controller, press the
spindle button until the light on the button turns green. This will automatically turn the spindle motor on and off as the
