Selenite Engrave settings

Hey there I saw a thread asking for settings for selenite, I engraved a piece of .55" today and wanted to share the settings:

Speed: 850
Power: 40 (but could’ve been a little higher)
focus height: .5

note; there was no crumb tray and I put it on 3 pieces of cardboard and a scrap piece of 1/8" birch

Hi! Did you mask the crystal before engraving or put anything over the top of it? Or did you just engrave directly onto the surface?

Thanks in advance <3

Hi!

I engraved right on the surface, you don’t get any “over burn” so I just wipe it down with a soft cloth once it’s finished.

Thank you so very much for the fast reply on such an old thread. <3

No problem at all, I happened to be checking my email when it popped up :grinning:
