Sculpfun Rotary Switch Support
Intro
FAQ
- How does Sculpfun Rotary Switch work?
- When you want to use do flat engraving, put the switch in the Y position. When you want to do rotary work, move the switch to the R position. The final position, “-” does nothing.
- Will this work with rotary units from other manufacturers?
- Yup!
