| - Never engrave deeper than is strictly necessary. For multi-layer plastics, the ideal depth is just enough to make the underlying colour appear. When you engrave metals which have to be paintfilled afterwards, you will need an engraving depth of 0.3 mm. | - Never engrave deeper than is strictly necessary.

| - | | **Note:**\\ \\ Always be careful at what you try to achieve. The tougher the material, the more careful you have to be. For example, engraving stainless steel is possible if you do not try to achieve excessive results. The Cyborg X-300 is a relatively lightweight engraver, which is not the same as a router. You can engrave stainless steel with a relatively small cutter tip (e.g. 0.5 to 1.0 mm) at moderate depths (e.g. 0.05 to 0.15 mm). You cannot engrave stainless steel with a 3 mm wide cutter tip at a depth of 0.5 mm or more. What you can and what you cannot do is very difficult to say, it depends upon many variables, under which the grade of stainless, the quality of the cutter, the cutting strategy, etc. | | + | | **Note:**\\ \\ Always be careful at what you try to achieve.
