15. Insert the cutter into the button until it is touching slightly (carbide cutters are not very shock

resistant) the engraving material (diagram 33). To facilitate the insertion of the cutter, slightly

unscrew the screw 

 

located on the spindle knob (diagram 34).

Remember to program 0.5 to 1 mm depth to compensate possible flatness faults of the plate.

16. Tighten the screw 

 

of the cutter button to lock it into place.

For greater convenience, we advise that you have as many cutter knobs as you have
cutters, so you can leave them together and keep the settings for possible jobs to be
carried out in the same conditions in the future (same thickness of materials).
For this, you will need to request "the machine configuration save with ZREF" (see
"Saving the machine configuration" paragraph of chapter "Basic techniques" in the
user manual "CN97 Program").
