-2. Does your virtual pendent on the computer screen show a cutter with a "green arrow" ? {{:en:x300:cutter_spinning.png?20|}}.  If it shows a red arrow {{:en:x300:cutter_nospin.png?20|}},the spindle will not rotate. \\+2. Are the XYZ feed speeds and the spindle RPM adapted for your material ?\\ 
 +3. Is the cutter width adapted to the character height in combination with the used font ? For most single line fonts you need a cutter width about 1/8 to 1/10 of the character height.\\ 
 +4. When engraving aluminium or stainless, did you not forget to switch on the "bidirectional" {{:en:x300:bidirectional-green-green.png?40|}} function ?\\ 
 +5. Is your cutter knob still in good shape? A worn out cutter knob could cause the cutter to vibrate.\\ 
 +6. If your engraving depth is not equally deep everywhere, you need to check if the floating function is working correctly.\\ 
 +7. If the floating function works fine, please check the status of the nosecone.\\ 
 +8. If the engravings show different depts, or if you see shadows near the engraved characters, you may be engraving without vacuum cleaner.  A vacuum cleaner is a must!\\
