Setup and Installation
The Fdit Solid Graveur Engraving Tip is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps to prepare your tip for use:
- Identify the Bracket: Locate the designated bracket or holder on your engraving machine where the tip will be inserted. This is often labeled as "B" or similar in your machine's manual.
- Insert the Tip: Carefully insert the engraving tip into the bracket. Ensure it is seated firmly and securely.
- Secure the Tip: If your machine has a locking mechanism for the tip, engage it to prevent movement during operation.
- Material Preparation (Optional but Recommended): For optimal stability and consistent engraving, especially on metal or other hard surfaces, consider using double-sided adhesive tape to secure your material firmly to the cutting mat or work surface. This minimizes shifting during the engraving process.

Operating Instructions
Once the engraving tip is installed, follow these general guidelines for operation:
- Material Selection: This tip is designed for engraving on hard surfaces. Ensure your material is suitable for engraving and properly secured.
- Software Settings: Refer to your engraving machine's software manual for appropriate settings (e.g., pressure, speed, number of passes) for engraving with a high-hardness tip. Start with conservative settings and adjust as needed.
- Test Engraving: Before starting a final project, perform a test engraving on a scrap piece of the same material to verify settings and achieve desired results.
- Monitor Process: During engraving, observe the process to ensure the tip is functioning correctly and the material remains stable.
- Post-Engraving: Once engraving is complete, carefully remove the material from the mat. Clean any debris from the engraved surface and the tip.

- Cleaning: After each use, gently clean the tip to remove any material residue. A soft brush or cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the tip material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tip for any signs of wear, damage, or dullness. A worn tip can lead to poor engraving quality.
