2.1. Jaw Seats
|
2.2 Size Adjusting KnobThe knob is used to change the distance between the jaws, which indicates the size of the object. Please see the video to learn how it works.
2.2.1 Demonstration of the Size Adjusting Knob
|
2.3. Angle IndicationThe angle indication indicates the angle that the head of the rotary is at. |
2.4. Stop ScrewThe stop screw limits the head of the rotary to be hanging when flipping 180 degrees. |
2.5. BaseThe body of the rotary can be repositioned. There are screw holes on the base, and the body can be screwed into different holes to change its position. Some applications, such as using longer objects, might need to change the body's position to reduce the total length of the rotary plugs in the object.
2.5.1 Demonstration of Reposition the Chuck Body |
2.6. Tail SupportTail support is used to support the other side of the object. It is usually used in Sphere Objects and short heavy objects to prevent them from falling down of the jaws. |
2.7. Connection SocketsAs mentioned, the connection cable will make a connection between the rotary and the machine. The socket is where the cable will go. The sockets are for different models. Please see the table below to find your correct socket.
|
2.8 Angle Adjusting KnobThe Angle Adjusting Knob is mainly used as a tool to level the object horizontally. It can also change the direction of the object 180 degrees for special applications.

3. Gripping Objects
This chapter will guide you through how to grip different objects, such as a regular cylinder, mug, small cylinder, long object, etc. Please refer to the table below to find a similar shape to your object.
Mug | Goblet | Cone | |
Long | Sphere | Ring |
3.1 CylinderCylinders can be gripped externally or internally. For large objects, L-shaped jaws will be necessary.
|
3.2 MugMugs come with handles; usually, the handle may hit the base of the rotary, so flipping 180 degrees to avoid this.
|
3.3 GobletPlease be cautious, as some goblets can be fragile. Gripping from the bottom is recommended. A support module, which must be purchased separately, is also recommended for goblet objects. (*The support module used at the end of the video will have to be purchased separately.) |
3.4 ConeCone objects can be gripped externally or internally.
|
3.5 LongThe support module will be required for the long objects, and it will have to be purchased separately. |
3.6 SphereIt is recommended that the sphere objects be engraved only in the center area, which has a minor difference in focus distance. The Tail Support Set will be used in sphere objects. |
3.7 RingThe ring-type material is similar to the cylinder's internal gripping. |
4. Other Accessories (Need to be Purchased Separately)
There are a few purchasable accessories that will be useful for special objects, such as mugs with bigger handles or longer objects.
*Please note that these items have to be purchased separately.
