3. Guía de funcionamiento
3.1 Preparación del material
Ensure your material (wood, acrylic, plastic, aluminum, brass) is securely fastened to the working area (300mm x 180mm x 40mm). Proper clamping prevents movement during engraving, which can affect accuracy and safety.
3.2 Tooling and Spindle Setup
Select the appropriate ER11 collet bit (0.5-7mm) for your engraving task. Insert the bit into the spindle and tighten it securely. The 775 brushed spindle motor supports speeds of 7000-9000 RPM. Adjust spindle speed according to the material and desired engraving depth.

3.3 Loading G-code Files
Prepara tu diseño file using compatible software (Artcam, Fusion360, Easel) and export it as a .nc or .gcode file. Load the file into your GRBL control software via USB or TF card. Verify the toolpath and origin settings before starting the engraving process.
3.4 Iniciación del grabado
Once the material is secured and the G-code is loaded, initiate the engraving process through the control software. Monitor the machine's operation closely. The machine offers 0.1mm positioning accuracy and a maximum speed of 1500mm/min.
