 {{:en:x300:cutter_nospin.png?50}}A diamond scratch tool is inserted in the spindle just like a normal engraving tool. The only difference with a normal engraving tool is that you preset it, just like a scoring tool, with a washer just under the cutter knob. Another difference with a normal engraving tool is that you do not want the spindle to rotate when a diamond tool is being used. You can select the “no rotation” option for the spindle in the virtual pendant’s menu, as shown below. {{:en:x300:cutter_nospin.png?50}}A diamond scratch tool is inserted in the spindle just like a normal engraving tool.

-To remove a tool, you do the opposite of inserting a tool, meaning you unscrew the cutter knob in the clockwise direction. This is the same for engraving, scoring and for diamond scratch tools. +
