Rock

Important safety notice

Settings are starting points — always run a test cut on scrap before your final piece. Follow your manufacturer's guidance, wear eye protection, and ensure proper ventilation.

Engraved a rock with a simple picture. Depending on the type of rock, results may vary. For example, I found a white rock and engraved with the same settings, and it was a faint outline. Next time if I engraved a white rock, I would place film or a spray on before hand to help with the clarity and visibility of the engraving.
