Diamond Engraving
To install a diamond drag adapter, remove the retainer ring and nose cone from the bottom of the
spindle and replace with the diamond drag adapter. (See fig.4.4) For diamond drag cutting, the
engraving motor is turned off and the cutter “drags” across the material. This is accomplished
with the motor on/off switch in the “off” position. Down pressure against the material can be
reduced or increased as necessary by adjusting the spindle pressure knob as described in the
next section.

Leveling the Phoenix Table (see fig.4.5)
All current Phoenix tables will have table level adjustments. The table may be leveled by first
loosening the 4 hex head screws that secure the t-slot table to the risers (see figure 4.5), and
then tightening or loosening the small set screws located next to the hex head screws. Once
level, the hex head screws can be re-tightened. This is a tricky process without a dial indicator to
measure accurately the run out from corner to corner. Table level adjustment can be made
without the indicator but the accuracy and time may be prohibitive.
