I finally spoke to a tech at Gravograph, who told me that you don't use the cutter knob, and you don't use a burnishing adapter with the M40.
That presents a mystery. How does a person go about burnishing with the M40?
Unless the M40 uses a collet-loading spindle, with its own "float factor", I can't think of another way to hold the burnishing cutter.

From the picture I just viewed it looks like a bottom loading collate with the top of the spindle covered, unless it is some sort of a hinged cover that does not show well in the picture.
They also have a blurb that it is auto Z sensing.
Those two things make me ask how to burnish with that machine unless you can set the spindle to a very low pressure. If it senses on every cutter-down that is possible.
Right now it is still a very valid question to me.
