Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Diamond engraving cutters

Alan,
I think we have posts crossed or something.
Robert is using:
"I used a 1/8 diamond ball on glass.jpg and a 1/16 diamond tear shaped on glass2.jpg"..
I wonder if these are the cheap diamond points sold in fold up case sets for about $11.00?
I have several sets to play with, h'mmmmm.
Now we're discussing Dremel engraver points. Good for scatching on glass and whatever.
I have a dia tipped engraver shank in my New Hermes kit.
I will get a Dremel dia. point to play with in the CNC Sherline.
I thought I missed something along the line.
