Hey everyone!

So, I wanted to try engraving on some small bits of silver... (It's a jewellery'ish sized product idea...) but those darn desktop engraving machines are so freakin expensive! So, thought get a cheapy cnc and try that! As a newb - and technical dimwit - I actually got the Genimitsu 3018 Prover, got it working and made some cuts, yay! Using small v bits (30 degree 0.3 tip) and Easel software I'm doing ok BUT engraving text still isn't coming out as nice as I'd like... ANY tips, guidance, advice on engraving? I can't believe this machine can't do half decent engraving as long as I have the right bit, settings etc.

p.s. before the above I actually got half decent results with a Cricut Maker and the ONLY reason I upgraded to the 3018 was because the Cricut only uses a drag engraver and I wanted slightly deeper, more professional looking engraving and thought a rotary cutter would do that.

I know this forum may not be the place for such amateurish questions and toy machines but I'm not sure where else to try.

Thanks all! Stay safe!
