Other Cases Where the Nose Unit Is Unsuitable
• When using a diamond scraper
• When using an end mill
• When you do not want to attach the vacuum adapter
Using the nose unit without attaching the vacuum adapter may lead to unintended engraving results.
• When hollowing
The nose unit interferes with the hollowing of the workpiece.
When Using Nose Unit
Use the Vacuum Adapter.
• To prevent damage to workpieces
Removing cutting waste around the cutter can prevent the workpiece from damage due to cutting waste.
• To ensure quality (precise engraving depth)
Engraving while taking up cutting waste enables tracking while the nose unit completely touches the
surface of the workpiece. As a result, you can engrave the workpiece to the intended depth, creating an item
with better quality.
Use resin and metal nose cones separately.
There is a resin nose cone and a metal one. Use them separately according to the workpiece material.
Material of nose cone Features
Resin
Use this when engraving a workpiece made from material that easily scratches.
With this nose cone, the workpiece can be engraved with less scratching
compared to the metal nose cone. However, the resin nose cone wears out as you
continue to perform engraving. Replace it at the appropriate time.

Metal
Use this when engraving a workpiece made from material that hardly scratches.
This nose cone has a tendency to scratch the workpiece more easily than the
resin nose cone. However, the metal nose cone does not wear out and can be
used for a longer time.
