Guest Klazykobbler Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi all many moons ago I was shown how to engrave using a cutter on the bottom of the plastic bases of cups and then infill witht the soft wax stuff. I'm using a manual txl pantograph. I was shown a method where take off the nose cone then you use the the depth inhibitor on the cutter holder to maintain the depth you want. I now have a load of these to do for real and grabbed an old cup base to practice on . whenever I moved from one letter to next the I was finding I was having to adjust the cutter depth just a little bit to get it the same as the others it was driving me nuts. where am I going wrong and if someone can advise a simple method for doing this please let me know. klazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thomas Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 surely the simple method is to leave the nosecone on & use that to regulate the depth? That's how I've always done it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sounds like the base isn't perfectly centred in the vice, this can affect the depth from letter to letter as it goes higher or lower everytime you rotate it. Or maybe it's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
