5.4.2 Rotary Engraving
In this section, we will set up to engrave with a rotating cutter. The figure below shows the Vision
Phoenix 1212 spindle with a rotary cutter.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a vacuum chip removal system which removes the debris while
engraving.
Vision Phoenix 1212 Spindle with Rotary Cutter
First, to install the rotating 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.
Then, you must zero the cutter. To do this, you must first turn the micrometer so that the pointer points
to 0. Note - it is helpful to first turn the micrometer to the left (clockwise) until threads just start to appear
on the spindle. This will be about 3 - 4 full turns of the micrometer from its uppermost position. This
allows for sufficient depth adjustment when turning the micrometer to the right.
Take a scrap piece of material and push it up underneath the nose cone and hold it there. Loosen the
cutter knob set screw and push the cutter down until it just touches the material. Tighten the cutter knob
set screw. The cutter is now zeroed.
To run a job, set up the job in the Vision Software. (For more information on this, see the Vision
Engraving Software manual and the example job file in the next section). Put the material on the t-slot
table as described in the previous section.
