This simplifies the engraving process by removing chips and debris from thVacuum Noseconee table while engraving. The vacuum attached to a special nosecone that removes chips before they have the chance to cause any problems.

If you do not wish to use the Vacuum Chip Removal System, we suggest use a portable vacuum to remove the engraving chips, but do not apply direct suction to the spindle area.
