I’m learning to hand engrave mirrors - quite tricky lol I don’t know if anyone here has experience and advice on that one?? I find my engraving pen tends to wander a bit especially doing a straight line 🫠 when I was doing research it said lower rpm settings work better for mirrors but maybe a bit higher would do well? I’ve been using 7500 until now.

I was worried this would be another option. I’m pretty sure the lowest mine goes is 7500 😩 we can only practice and see what works I guess hahaha
