To All,
Thanks for all the good information. I did some preliminary tests allready and am having good luck so far. So far a spindle speed of 20,000 and feed rate of 15mm seems to be working well and I am going shallow with just one pass. Thanks again for all the good advice it's been very helpfull. In fact this forum is the best I've belonged to. Hope everyone has a good time in Vegas at the ARA show, my wife and I will be there on thursday and friday.
Thanks,
Don Ancona

but something more durable, such as vinyl, would inspire more confidence. .
Hi David
the vinyl also serve a dual purpose for me . If I am say engraving a 100 tags, I will lay a tacky mat on my bed, then a matrix made from a sheet of flexible plastic that I have routed out the shapes of the brass tags. Lay out the tags and then place the Vinyl on top. Sounds a bit of an ordeal but it works really well when deep engraving the brass.
My wife isn't impressed with the gold vinyl that I seem to trail everywhere - perhaps its time to use a new colour!

Still using those Autumn colors. I don't blame your wife. :-)
