The video shows him going to a depth of 0.1 mm - is that the secret ? - lots of sweeps at very shallow depths ??


I'm still very new to all this stuff - being able to cut brass and aluminium would be a definite plus. All advice gratefully received
I think to engrave it you shouldn't have problems milling might be more an issue, bit will break before machine. That said what kind of machine do you have? Self build, bought or Chinese special?

Never played with brass and never intend to but I saw that video so had to post it.
