Installing a Diamond Scraper
WARNING
Never inadvertently touch the computer or handy panel while performing this
task.
Unintended operation of the machine may result in injury.
WARNING
Securely fasten the cutting tool and in place. After securing in place, make sure no
wrenches or other articles have inadvertently been left behind.
Otherwise such articles may be thrown from the machine with force, posing a risk of
injury.
CAUTION
Caution: cutting tool.
The cutting tool is sharp. To avoid injury, exercise caution.
This performs scribing using a diamond scraper. With scribing, cutting is carried out by scraping the workpiece with-
out rotating the spindle. Because automatic Z control is set to “on,” the cutting-in depth for the workpiece is deter-
mined by the pressure of the cutter. For this reason, this method is not suitable for deep engraving.
➢ Diamond scrapers are optionally available items.
➢ Diameter-3.175 millimeter diamond scrapers can be used with the included solid collet.
➢ Diameter-4.36 millimeter diamond scrapers cannot be used with the included solid collet. Provide an optionally
available dedicated diamond-scraper collet separately.

The cutter holder is reverse-threaded (that is,
you turn it counterclockwise to tighten it). Be
careful to turn it in the correct direction.
