I do both laser and sand etching of glass. Most often I combine the two for a different look and feel. I get more for the sand work so I offer the laser as a lower cost alternative uswing the rotary attachment. The problem I am having with most glass is flaking which makes for a poor appearance.
I have a 25 W and run at 100P/34S/1000PPI and 6 ID. I have a ULS M-300.
In most cases the laser-only work is acceptable but I think it can be better and not sure if I should go up or down or what I can change. When using tape and then blasting the laser work is not an issue as long as I cut through the tape.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
