Rotate the dial in the direction of the arrow shown in
the figure to extend the cutter to the engraving depth
(cutting-in amount).
Move the cutter out just enough for the necessary
engraving depth.
The lines printed on the dial indicate 0.025 mm (1/
1000") for each mark. For instance, to set a cutting
depth of 0.5 mm, rotate an 20 mark portion.
Engraving depth
When setting the engraving depth with software, set a depth about 2 mm deeper than the depth that would be set on the micrometer dial.
(In other words, 2 mm deeper than the actual engraving depth.)
Engraving can be done at a standard depth by increasing the force on the workpiece from the top.
Raise the spindle with the [+Z] key.
