5.4 Step by Step Operation
In the following sections, there are 4 example jobs the user can use to learn the different ways to use the
Vision Phoenix 1212. In the first section, the machine will be set up to perform a diamond drag operation
on coated aluminum and a simple plate will be engraved. In the second example, engravers plastic will
be rotary engraved to make a small sign. The third example is a coated brass burnishing operation which
will cover the importing of text variables for multi-plate engraving. In the last example job, a set of name
badges will be engraved and cut out of engravers plastic.
The sections and example jobs are designed to incrementally teach the user how to use the machine, as
well as use some of the common functions within the Vision software. It is recommended that the first
time user read through and practice the techniques in these example files in the sequence they are
provided in this manual.
5.4.1 Diamond Drag Engraving
Engraving - Non Rotating
In this section, we will set up to engrave with a non-rotating cutter, such as a diamond drag cutter. The
figure below shows the Vision Phoenix 1212 spindle with a diamond drag cutter.
The Vision Phoenix 1212 spindle with diamond drag cutter
First, to install the diamond drag cutter, loosen the set screw on the cutter knob with the supplied cutter
wrench and move the cutter knob to about the mid-point of the cutter tool, then lightly tighten the set
screw. (Note that the set screw on the cutter knob is NOT a standard Allen screw. It is a Spline Wrench.
DO NOT attempt to turn the set screw with any tool other than the cutter wrench). Insert the cutter into
the top of spindle and lower it until the cutter knob can be screwed into the spindle. The cutter knob is
REVERSE threaded, so in order to tighten the cutter knob, turn the knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE (when
viewed from the top of the spindle) until it is hand tight.
