Engraving Problems

Problem: Engraving on the plate is ”slanted“.

Possible solutions:

1. Check material for squareness. Maybe your shear did not cut squarely.

2. Check to see if the material on the table is indeed at a true home and is square to your

T-slot edge guides.

3. Check to insure that the T-slot edge guides are secure and flush to your T-Slot table.

Hint: Always inspect your job before removing your plate from the system. You may be

able to salvage it by re-engraving the job, or at a minimum, you may be able to analyze

the problem and prevent repeating it. Perhaps the plate moved during engraving.

Removing it without inspection would prevent you from detecting this problem.

Problem: You are using a nosecone, but your engraving is ”shallow“ across the top or left

margin of your plate. It engraves properly when the spindle is away from the edge.

Possible solutions:

1. Your nosecone is riding on the T-slot edge guides. Loosen and lower the edge guides

so that they are below the level of your material surface. Retighten the thumbscrews.

2. Check to see if your material is riding on the T-slot edge guides. It’s not hard to miss

during set-up especially if the plate is thin material.

Problem: You are using a nosecone and your engraving is uneven.

Possible solutions:

1. Your spindle is not ”zeroed“ to your material. Follow the steps in ”Chapter 3 - Rotary

Engraving“ to zero your spindle.

2. You are not using enough float and need to adjust the down stroke until your nosecone

touches the material with some pressure.

3. You may be engraving too fast for the type of material you are cutting. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendation. The cutter may be bouncing on the surface. Some hard

materials may exhibit this problem.

4. You may have a defective or broken cutter. Replace it.

5. Your material may be defective.

6. Your vac chip removal system is plugged or the hose is blocked and engraving chips

are caught between the nosecone and the material.

7. The nosecone or vac nose is loose.
