Turn the VE-810 Engraver on by flipping the switch on the back right side of the machine.
Set up the job you would like to engrave in the Vision Software. (For more information on
this, see the Vision Engraving Software manual.) Put the material on the T-slot table as
described in the previous section. Use the X & Y jog keys to move the spindle out over
the material. Next, press and hold the Z up jog button until the spindle reaches the
highest point. Press the set surface button. The spindle will move down. Now press and
hold down the Z down jog button until the nose cone touches the engraving material.
Once the nose touches the material, press the Z down jog button a little bit more. This will
ensure that the depth of cut is consistent. Press the set surface button again. The
spindle will now move to its original position. The surface is now set. From the Vision
software, press the F9 key to send the job to the VE-810 engraver. You will get the
following screen:
Since we are using a rotary cutter, we need to have the spindle rotate, so click on Rotary
Engrave from the Execute Layout screen and then click OK. You will see that the green
light near the start button will start to flash. This means that there is a job in the VE-810.
Before you press start, press the X left jog button until the spindle is all the way to the left
and press the Y up jog button until the T-slot table is all the way to the back. Now press
start. The job should now engrave. If there are any problems, press the stop button
immediately.
