Getting Started
Inserting and Removing Tips
Refer to the EasyMark™ Engraver user guide on how to insert and remove the
diamond tips. Because the EasyMark spins the diamond tip, it does most of the
work for you. Using a light hand allows you to better control the tip on the
engraving surface and prevents premature wearing of the diamond. If you hear
the tip "squeal" you are pressing too hard causing the tool motor to turn against a
stationary tip. It is the repeated application of the diamond tip to an area that
progressively whitens the glass to produce shading and depth in the design.
Practice First!
We suggest you start by practicing on a scrap piece of the final material you will be engraving. The first
thing to remember is there is no right or wrong tip for creating your designs. You need find the tips that
achieve the results you want. There is no right or wrong tip and the different tips will create different
lines; carve to different depths and at different angles. You will find some are better for drawin
