Title: Engraving
Post by: kcib on June 29, 2013, 05:42:55 AM

Has anybody tried to engrave the back of an Apple iPhone?  (Glass back cover)  if so what sort of tool do you use? also would it be possible to engrave a picture onto the back?

I think you could do it with a spring loaded engraving cutter holder and a diamond burr. The spring loaded cutter holder gives you a constant tool pressure when engraving delicate or brittle materials reducing the chance of fracture.
There are some posts elsewhere on the forum regarding converting images to G-Code, I've not done this yet myself,
