Setting Up the Laser Engraver Rotary Attachment

Getting Started with Your Monport Rotary Tool

To begin using the Monport rotary tool, connect it to your laser engraver's rotary port—typically found on the machine’s mainboard or control interface. The laser engraver rotary attachment allows the workpiece to rotate in sync with the laser head, enabling precise cylindrical engraving.

Make sure your machine is turned off before installation. After connecting the rotary tool, replace the regular workbed with the rotary attachment. Use the adjustable clamps to secure your tumbler, glass, or bottle, ensuring the object is level and rotates freely. The dual workbed on the Monport 40W Pro provides extra flexibility during this setup.

Calibration is Crucial

With the Monport rotary tool installed, open your Lightburn software. Under the rotary setup section, input the appropriate diameter and rotation settings based on your material. Conduct a small test run on scrap or inexpensive material to ensure proper alignment and focus. Thanks to the built-in red dot guidance, aligning your object is quick and hassle-free.

The Magic of Rotational Precision

One of the greatest advantages of using the laser engraver rotary attachment is its ability to maintain uniform depth and focus across a rotating surface. The Monport rotary tool ensures that the laser beam always hits the correct part of your cylindrical item, avoiding distortions or blurry edges.

Use the adjustable laser head on the Monport 40W Pro to fine-tune the distance from your object. The clamping design table ensures your item stays firmly in place, even at high engraving speeds.

Creative Applications

Engraving on tumblers, wine glasses, rolling pins, pens, and even candles becomes seamless with the Monport rotary tool. Want to add logos, names, quotes, or intricate designs to your products? The laser engraver rotary attachment opens the door to a wide array of creative and professional engraving projects.

You can even take it a step further by using Monport’s black laser marking spray to create permanent high-contrast marks on metal tumblers, stainless-steel flasks, and other cylindrical metal items.
