Etched a glass menu board via my ShapeOko CNC machine for my wife.
Here’s a link to the video:
What settings did you use if you don’t mind me asking.
@james_shelton The feed rate was pretty slow (5in/min) and cutting depth was pretty small as well (0.005in). This glass is really quite thin, I would say a little less than an 1/8 inch. I was really nervous about breaking the glass but it did super awesome!
What tooling did you use,
Sorry… this is a V-Bit Bull-Nose grinding bit that came with the Original ShapeOko.
Something like these:

Ok I’ll have to check my dremel. I have a bunch
Yeah. This was really for me just a test to see if I could really do this kind of thing with my machine. I didn’t have to buy anything to try it because I had the bit and the glass!
I know another user had done Slate tile and I want to try that as well.
Thanks for the post, I’ll give it a shot when my shapeoko arrives
It’s a fun ride! Good luck!
@Frank_Graffagnino thanks!
