Default Engraving Perspex / Acrylic Sheets
I've started an attempt on engraving a sheet of 3mm perspex using a Rotary tool with the engraving attachment

I'm trying to engrave the CM Storm Logo and text. It's the first time I'm trying it and it's going okay, but I wanted to know if there is any better way of doing it or any tips / advice to going about it please?

This is the logo I'm talking about...

Don't press too hard unless you want pieces of your bit flying into your face.

are you cutting the letters into the plexi or are you making letters to glue onto the plexi.
