Hi Cody
unfortunately the items I am looking to engrave have a slight dome and I couldn't get away without a nose cone.
I have eliminated it applying vinyl over the top but then using a cutting lubricant became an issue.
At the moment I am just 'playing around' to see what I can do and if this is an area I want to get into. Too many people told me not to bother with stainless steel to the point where I couldn't resist the challenge. Since I started out a couple of years back I have been rotating a faceted diamond on stainless steel with reasonably good results.
I wasn't sure if the scotchbrite was something ' special' or just the same as the stuff in the supermarkets for scrubbing pans.
I used a cutting compound on my polishing machine to get the ghosting out, but its a bit messy to clean up afterward before paint filling.
cheers
