    Can I engrave glass with a 3018.

    I have been reading up on the cnc machines they have on Amazon, and watching a lot of videos on their assembley. I need to know if I can engrave glass with this type of cnc machine, just plain flat glass, kind of creating a picture but engraved on glass. I got in contact with a couple of sellers of these machines, one said yes the other said no.

    So is there anyone out there that has actually used one of these 3018 machines or similar to engrave glass?

    Thanks for any responses and advice.

    Cheers.

    Re: Can I engrave glass with a 3018.

    I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. A diamond engraving bit and some coolant (water or kerosene) would be my choice. I have never worked with glass on my router, but I have on my milling machine and had no problems.
