Why is the type ragged on my Vision 16 Series?
- R
  Richard VasquezSep 7, 2025
  If you have ragged type when using the Vision Engraver, and the quality of the cut is ragged or exhibits steps, you may have play in the cutter, possibly in the gap between the cutter and the spindle shaft. The shaft may be worn, or the spindle bearings may need replacement. The spindle could be loose in the housing or block, or the carriage could be loose with excessive play; check the z-axis bearings or slide. Lubricate lead screws with recommended lubricant.

  If your Vision Engraver system has no movement in any one axis, try to jog the problem axis using the X/Y/Z jog keys on the control unit. If OK, retry the job. Check the table cable for a solid connection. If problems persist, call a service technician for further instructions.

What to do if 'shadowing' occurs while engraving with Vision 16 Series?

  If you notice 'shadowing' while engraving certain materials with the Vision Engraver, try leaving the protective film on the material during engraving. Alternatively, use a plastic nosecone instead of a standard metal one. Inspect the nosecone for damage, burrs, or roughness; polish it with an Emory cloth if needed. Also, reduce the spring pressure, as excessive pressure can leave rub marks on plastic.

What to do if engraving is shallow across the top when using Vision 16 Series with a nosecone?
- D
  Dustin WalkerSep 12, 2025
  If you are using a nosecone, but your Vision Engraver engraving is 'shallow' across the top or left margin of your plate, your nosecone may be riding on the edge guides. Lower the edge guides so that they are even with or below the level of your material surface. Also, check to see if your material is on top of the edge guides.

How to fix 'fuzz' or 'fur' in Vision 16 Series cuts?
- K
  Kathleen UnderwoodSep 14, 2025
  If you're getting 'fuzz', 'fur' or lines in the bottom of your Vision Engraver cut showing each cutter path, try changing the cutter size slightly, as this problem is sometimes caused by dull cutters, the wrong cutter, or not enough overlap for each cut. You can also try taking a second pass cut at .001-.002 deeper to clean up the roughness. Resharpen the cutter, ensuring the spindle is square in the mount or block. Also, try turning the spindle speed up.
