You want your part to be sitting against the plastic bumper on the left side of the tool. The rollers are made intentionally so that it pushes the part against that small plastic bumper to minimize lateral movement.

If you do a ''Bottom-Up'' engraving the part will move away that plastic bumper and warp your engraving.
