EGX-20 USER'S MANUAL
Setting the Origin Point
When loading material or installing a cutter, be sure to set the origin point.
The origin point is the reference point for engraving. You set it individually for each piece of material you load.
In the 3D Cutting mode, you separately set the origin point for the vertical and horizontal position of the material and the origin
point for the height (thickness).
Omitting this operation may result in locations other than the material being engraved.
Setting the Height Origin Point
You can set the height origin point by pressing the Origin Set button when the Z-axis light is illuminated.
In the 3D Cutting mode, the cutter rotates when you lower the spindle unit. Lowering the cutter until it touches the
material results in the material being cut. Stop it at a location where it does not quite make contact.
Loosen the retaining screw for the cutter holder and move the cutter
until it touches the material.

Refer to "Basic Steps for Moving the Spindle Unit" on
page 19 and move the spindle unit as described below.
1. Move the spindle unit to position it at the center of the
material.
2. Move the spindle unit downward until the cutter is
nearly touching the surface of the material.
Loosen the retaining screw for the cutter holder and
move the cutter until it touches the material.
When the cutter is touching the material, tighten the
retaining screw for the cutter holder to secure the cutter
in place.
Make sure the Z-axis light on the switch panel is
illuminated, then press and hold the Origin Set button for
a short while (0.3 second or more).
(Pressing the Origin Set button lights the Origin Set
light. Make sure the light is illuminated, then release the
button. The Origin Set light goes dark.)
