Did they ever tell you wahy go clockwise over counter?   Is it something to do with the rotation of the spindle?


Any tips on engraving?   What I am trying to do with the design posted above is engrave those numbers on the back side of painted plexliglass(the reason they are backward).   I am getting mixed results.   I have tried engraving nits and end mills   So far the best results seem to be in with end mills (flat nose).

But in the fure I am going to eant to engrave much more fine letters for a front panel.  A form member on another forum takes his front panels to an engraver.  He paints the plexiglass while (from the back.  Engraves then paints black over what he engraved.   I have seen photos.   Very nice results.  Not sure how he does it exactly.
