Features of This Machine
This machine is a desktop engraving machine. It can be used in a variety of applications such as making
personalized gifts and accessories by engraving names and creating signboards and industrial products.
• Accommodates various engraving methods
This machine achieves expressive, high-quality engraving of a wide range of types, from contouring and ll,
to hollowing and scribing.
• Outstanding basic performance
The spacious operating area measuring 305 × 230 × 40 mm (W × D × H; 12.0 × 9.1 × 1.6 in.) and the high-
speed spindle that turns at up to 20,000 rpm make for rapid engraving.
• Preview function for preventing failures
You can conrm the engraving area in advance using the laser pointer. By conrming which area of the
workpiece will actually be engraved in advance, you can perform engraving on any location you want.
• Designed for ease of use
You control machine operation using a handy panel that is separate from the machine. This lets you control
the machine from a location aording a clear view of the workpiece and tool. You can also make settings for
the machine simply and easily while viewing the display screen on the handy panel.
• Automatic Z control feature
The machine oers an automatic Z control feature that makes possible engraving at a uniform depth, even
on workpieces with wavy surfaces.
(Trackable undulation height: gentle undulations of about 1 mm (0.04 in.))
• High levels of safety
A front cover and an emergency stop button are standard features of the machine.

Terms of Tool Position
This manual uses the following terms to indicate the position of the tool.
Terms Overview
Coordinates
These refer to the numerical values that indicate the position of the tool on each of the X/Y/Z axis. They are represented
along with the axis, and the values are represented as positive or negative numbers.
Axis Distance from the origin

(Representation)
The following are the two types of coordinates.
• "Machine coordinates": Coordinates whose origin is a machine-specic origin (machine origin) that
cannot be changed.
• "User coordinates": Coordinates whose origin is an origin that can be changed by the user (user origin).
Origin This refers to the origin ("0" position) of coordinates.

X-axis
coordinate
This refers to the distance from the origin of the X
axis direction (horizontal direction when the table is
seen from directly above).
Y-axis

This refers to the distance from the origin of the Y
axis direction (vertical direction when the table is
seen from directly above).
