I want to carve some aluminum business cards using the Diamond Drag Engraver bit. Would I want a 90 or 120 degree bit? I have some pretty small SVG’s that I want to try to cram onto the card.
What type of blank aluminum stock do I need to look for and purchase? What exactly am I looking for? I found some on Amazon but looked like they were for lazer.
What bit do I select in Carbide Create? (I do not have the Pro version)
What depth and other settings do I use? Contour? Start depth? Max depth? Retract height on job setup?
Will I get a simulation view of my final project on the toolpaths tab?
Now suppose I want to carve into some granite? What bit and settings would I use there?
How about for corian? Same as granite or different?
Glass or mirror engraving? Would settings be different here?
