Diamond Drag Engraving
In this section, we will set up to engrave with a non-rotating cutter, such as a diamond
drag cutter. Figure 3.1 (below) shows the VE-810 spindle with the optional diamond drag
adapter and how to install the adapter.

To install the diamond drag adapter, you must first remove the retainer ring and nose. To
do this, unscrew the retainer ring from the micrometer. Next, screw the diamond drag
adapter onto the micrometer.
Turn the VE-810 Engraver on by flipping the switch on the back left side of the machine.
Set up the job you would like to engrave in the Vision Software. (For more information on
this, see the Vision Engraving Software manual.) Put the material on the T-slot table as
described in the previous section. Make sure that the prox is turned on and the light is
green on the prox button. If it is red, press the PROX button and it will change to green.
Make sure the SPINDLE ON/OFF button is red. If not, press the button until it turns red.
