Floating Head for Engraving
Used to overcome the need to engrave detail at a very good depth repeatability on an uneven surface. The cutting depth is controlled by how far the cutter sticks out of the shoulder as opposed to the cutting depth. The Z axis plunge move and machining position does not control the depth. A spring and the weight of the spindle keeps the system engaged with the top surface and the length of the cutter stick out controls the cutting depth.
Component features:
- 43mm mounting compatible with the Kress spindle
- Depth of engraving adjustable by a dial
- Surface pressure force can be adjusted using spring and bolt
- lockable when not engraving so the unit can be used for normal milling also
