    Anyone out there using this method

    Are there any engravers out there who are opting for this method of engraving? Please discuss.

    Frank,
    I'll be using this method when my tube dies. A very effective and cost saving method I must say. Thanks for sharing

    Turn-around time must be a bear! Though I have to admit... at the speed that girl is moving, it actually appears to be nearly as fast as our laser.

    Mike, your friend does lovely work, similar to Leslie Pyke all engraved with small drills. I used to engrave glasses this way, time consuming but quite therapeutic.
