iPhone 5SE - how I should do it

[Hannu Rinne]

I should engrave iPhone (5SE - gold) to my client. I suppose that the back side of the phone is anodised aluminium ? Could anyone recommend some suitable settings ? - I have only a one shot to do this and I'm a bit nervous. I've been thinking something like 80-90 speed - 30% power (of 60W) - 600dpi (I've no chance to make any tests before the final work - argghh...)

Best regards,
Hannu

If you have any other anodized aluminum anywhere, of any kind, practice on that first.

Settings sound fine to me, although maybe try 20 or 25% power- some anodize is very thin and can burn away with too much power...

Thanks Kev, I'll try (afterwards, if the customer gives me a permission, I'll post a photo of the work (or the disaster)
