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.

Step 3: Engraving the glass

Download the glass template file (you can get it here) and send it to the laser. Ensure that the rotary attachment is enabled in the driver and that you've entered the correct glass diameter. Now you can start engraving! We've used these parameters for engraving it:
