THREE
DIMENSIONAL
ENGRAVING
25. After selecting a pattern you will need
a work piece thick enough to accept
the engraving plus 1/4" to 1/2".
(Redwood is very easy to rout.)
Maximum pattern size you can use is
1 1/4" thick and 13" high by 24"
long.
26. The 1/8" veining router bit is needed
to get good detail in 3D routing.
Install cutter leaving it above router
base. (Veining bit has a spherical
end.) (We recommend removing the
router base plate so you can see the
cutter as the image is sculptured.)
27. With tube frame at 90° (see step12)
place work piece under adapter plate
with cutter on center of location to be
engraved. Locate PATTERN under
stylus with stylus on the center of the
pattern. Secure work piece to work
surface with wedges or C-clamps.
Secure pattern to work surface with
screws or other clamps.
28. Back off stylus and both rear support
screws until adapter plate is flat on
work piece. Adjust both rear support
screws down toward workbench until
rear edge of adapter plate is off work
piece by 1/8". Readjust only the
support screw on the guide arm side
up until slide button leaves work
bench by 1/4". Secure both rear
support screws with hex nuts.
29. Place stylus on LOW POINT of
pattern. Adjust stylus against pattern
until front edge of adapter plate is
1/8" off work piece (adapter plate is
completely off work piece.) Secure
stylus with thumb nut.
Place stylus on high point of pattern.
Adjust router cutter down to
workpiece (just touches).
