1. X-Y Speed - This knob controls how fast the VE-810 will engrave. Turning the knob

clockwise will increase the speed and turning the knob counter clockwise will decrease

the speed.

You would change the engraving speed depending on the type of material you are

engraving and the type of cutter you are using. If you are using a diamond drag cutter

(non-rotating), you can generally run the machine very fast. If you are using a rotary

cutter, you will need to adjust the speed depending on what type of material you are

cutting. Harder materials such as acrylic and engravers brass will need to be engraved at

a slower speed. Softer materials such as engraving plastic can be engraved at a faster

speed.

A rule of thumb for setting the engraving speed is to start off engraving at a slow speed.

You can gradually increase the engraving speed while the machine is working. Keep

increasing the speed until you get to a speed where it sounds like the machine is working

freely. If your speed is too fast, the machine will sound like it is working very hard, or

putting a heavy load on the engraving spindle. If this happens, you can possibly dull the

engraving cutter or the engraving quality will not be very good.
