pasted on the auxiliary operating platform, the size of the material should within the scope of 90X90mm.

Meanwhile, the initial point of this file is on the top left corner.

The application of engraving machine is easy, which can be summarized as: clamping materials,

tool setting, and engraving. However, just as operating the computer, some people use computer just

for entertainment, so it lacks of required skills; some people make design for creation, so they make

great efforts for it. Therefore, the same computer may play different roles for people with different

requirements. It is the same for the engraving machine, because it is only a tool, and if you want it to

play a more important role and engrave better objects, you must have the ability to "send command" to

it. The command that can be executed by the engraving machine is called "processing code", and in

order to produce these "processing codes", you have to learn some software.

Application of tool setting gauge

Tool setting gauge is an auxiliary tool for Z axis when it is setting the tool, and this function is only

restricted for the use of R2.63 version in Mach3. However, tests have not been conducted for other

versions, so support is not provided.

Attention: before using the tool setting gauge, you must first

measure its accurate thickness through vernier caliper, because this

value will directly influence the accuracy of tool setting; as it is

shown in the picture, input the value of the thickness to the character

box of "PROBE-H" (such as inputting 20), and then you must press

the "Enter" key to save this value.

Important: every time before applying the tool setting gauge, you

should first touch the surface of the tool setting gauge through the clamp on the red cable, to check

whether the indicator light on the tool setting interface is turned to red or not. If it is turned to red, it

means that this function can be used normally. If not, you should check whether the cable of the tool

setting gauge is connected well, or

whether

you

forgot to

make

the

setting but you have reinstalled this

software.
