Step 2: Set up the rotary attachment
Put the rotary engraving attachment into your laser engraving machine and atach it properly and turn the laser on. Now clamp the glass into the rotary attachment and focus on the surface. If you're using conical glass, tilt the rotary attachment until the engraving surface is positioned parallel to the work table.
