Instructions

1mm bit Cut depth 0.00 to 0.03” Online path Auto speed at default 10 Ipm (Inches per minute) Use auto-locked feature (double press green button to start cut) for a smoother result It's best to use "cast" rather than "extruded" acrylic. I found my local box stores carry only extruded acrylic. The quality of the cut is better with cast and has less of a tendency to melt the acrylic while cutting Use acrylic with the cover layers intact. Remove these after engraving. This leaves a clean result without tear out. Cut on the back side of the acrylic using a reversed image. This creates a better result with LED lighting. To reverse an image in Studio, use menu function Mirror Horizontal Engrave using 1mm cutter (1/8" shank) or engraving bit Slow the cutting spindle (motor) speed to 1-2 to prevent melting Keep auto speed at default 10 Ipm (Inches per minute) Cut depth 0.00 to 0.03” Online cuts Use auto-locked feature (double press green button to start cut) for a smoother rate and less chance of bit breakage (1mm bits break quite easily but not terribly costly @ about $1/bit) I purchased the LED bases from Amazon but they certainly could be made if you have the LED and switches
