4. Adjustment of the Engraving depth
The engraving depth will be adjusted through the depth controller at the bottom of the
engraving spindle. Depending on the size and the angle of the engraving needle as
well as the engraving depth, certain engraving widths could be achieved.
We suggest to engrave with the needle angle of 15 degrees for normal use.
The engraving needles are available
in sizes of .2; .3; .4; .5; .7; 1.0 mm.
Special sizes are available on request.
According to the samples shown,
different results of the engraving can be achieved.
The adjustment of the engraving depth will be done by manually
turning the depth controller.
zero position
Each clock wise turn will increase the depth, each
counter clock wise turn will reduce the depth. With
the turn of the controller a notch is noticeable.
With each notch the engraving needle will 1 mm
change position of .025 mm in either direction. One
complete turn counts 40 notches and equals to 1 mm
in the change of depth of the engraving needle.
2 mm
The depth of the engraving can be checked
at the scale on the left side of the spindle.
Attention: The point of the engraving needle is very sensitive and needs to be
treated carefully. Prevent damaging the point, if damaged the engraving quality
will be extremely limited.
