Hey there, I have the 120 MC Etcher and am wondering if it’s safe to use on porcelain tile, if the 90 is better, or if tile isn’t recommended? Also, I’m curious if the same rules apply to ceramic tile.
Saw @Julien ’s post before the MC Etcher was out, maybe you have some thoughts?
Having fun learning how to use my diamond drag bit.

Used VCarve and a cheapo 4"x4" bathroom tile. Once I find an interesting set of images I’ll probably make a set of coasters. 15min start to finish, no headaches, perfect for a sunday lazy CNC session.
Thanks all!

Hi @katp ,
The MC Etcher will engrave just about anything, if @KevBarn14 says so:
Ceramic and porcelain tiles will work just fine, as long as their surface is reasonably smooth.
90 vs. 120 degrees is pretty much only a matter of how visible/wide you want the engraving lines to be, @wmoy explains it at 0:41 here:

Fantastic! Thank you so much @Julien . I had seen Winston’s video but somehow hadn’t seen Kevin’s—thank you so much!
