John,

When CGS gets some equipment in, I'm sure they won't mind if I come by to play. I'll be sure to test drive the equipment and offer my observations.

My initial thoughts are the machine needs bona fide engraving fonts. I don't know if a chip collector is available, but if you're rotary engraving acrylic, plastics etc., they're a must.

Hi David... sorry I didn't respond sooner... my confirmation email feature must not be working ... or my 'read my email' must not be! :-)  Let me know what you think.
I have a 'shoe' that fits onto my engraving head for picking up chips of engraving materials that I have attached to a small shop back when I want to collect them and it works just fine.

John.

If the shoe fits, use it. :-) 

Is the shoe an accessory from Roland or is it something you rigged up on your own?

Ya, I see Vacuum Noses and a Big & Wide Foot depth assembly. I have a boot for holding wine bottles and a bag for catching the water during glass engraving .......... but shoes?? can't find them....

Gee, I am not sure about the 'size' but it just fits over the nose cone ...maybe a 'petite' ... he he he. Anyway, its made of plastic fits over the nose cone and held there with a knurled knob and has a 3' length of plastic hose with a vacuum adapter connected to it ... it was standard on my EGX-300. Works quite well.
