Manual

The manual can be found here: Media:Taylor_Hobson_Engraver_manual.pdf

Scale Adjustment

The scale must be adjusted at 3 points. They must all be on the same number, or the engraving will come out slanted. The diagram below indicates the 3 points.

Cutter Grinder

There is a cutter grinder that goes with this machine, that grinds the D bit cutters to the special form required. Do not use this grinder for anything else not stated in the user manual. Damage to you or the machine will occur, especially if you are caught. The manual for the cutter grinder is here: Media:Engraver_cutter_grinder_manual.pdf

Letter Templates

The letter templates are stored in the grey drawer under the bench between the Engraver and the mini mill, labelled "Engraver Letters"
