I am having a lot of trouble. I do the line test to get the rotations per mm. Then I do and engrave a logo and it is very skewed. So then I go do the line test again, and then get that set to where the two ends meet again, then go back and engrave the logo, well its still skewed. I have the cup flat even though it is slanted. And then when I get any type of engraving, the glass from the engraved part chips. So i try new settings, and nothing seems to work.

I think it left a better image in black than the more expensive charcoal glass spray from Enduramark. It worked on tile the same way at 90mm/sec at 90% power. This is on the 10w version of the D1.

Nick.. I've been experimenting with different mediums for etching glass (Dry Moly, Zinc/Galvanizing, Tempera, Tape, etc...), and have found that most mediums are "about" equal. Side note, at least with the galvanizing I am using, I run a second pass to burn off excess material left behind on first pass.... but, I digress.. The point of my post, and I do have one, is to ask you a question: have you tried using "Rub'n Buff" (get yer mind outta the gutter!) on the etched part of the glass? I have watched several videos of the folks who do chemical etching of glass follow-up with Rub'n Buff to bring color to their glass etchings (gold leaf, copper, ebony, etc...). I am going to experiment on some of my existing test pieces this weekend, but wondered if you had already seen this product. If you see this and are interested in my results... let me know and I'll be happy to share.
