DEFINITION OF TERMS (as labeled in Fig.2.1)

1. Table Base Plate. This is the large flat plate upon which everything else is mounted. All

mechanical alignments are referenced to this plate, so the space upon which you place the

engraving table must be a reasonably level surface.

2. X-Axis Linear Rails. The steel V-rails, which allow the motion of the carriage in the X-

axis direction.

3. X-Axis Stepper Motor. Drives the carriage in the X-Axis.

4. T-Slot Table. Also referred to as the work surface, this aluminum bed supported by the

linear rails allows placement of the engraving material or special clamps and fixtures. The

slots in this table are shaped with an upside-down T, with the bottom of the T being a single-

line slot across the top of the table. The slots are used to hold various accessory holders,

clamps, and jigs. (A selection of various T-slot accessories appears in chapter 7.).

5. Gantry Assembly. The gantry or “bridge” is a large, rectangular bar suspended across

the width of the table in the X-axis. Supports the carriage assembly and travels along. the Y-

axis.
