Drag bit on floor tile

I am contemplating trying to engrave floor tile with a diamond drag bit. I have tried it on ceramic tile and have not been happy with the results.

Does anyone have experience if it will work, or have I just found another way to wear out an expensive bit?

If it can be done, any experience/recommendations as to types of tiles work best?

Oops, I meant the MCEtcher, not Dragbit.

There has been some discussion here before:

the big things are:

  • that surface variation are sufficiently shallow that the spring mechanism can overcome them
  • how long the diamond will last

Here is the result i am having. Very happy about it.
