Recently I had a pet of over 15 yrs pass. Thankfully it was sudden and overall painless for the pet. We chose to have her cremated and wish to place her in her favorite spot out in the garden area. Knowing I had already engraved in some Marble and Slate. I thought I would give it another go and see…

Looks beautiful, and I’m sorry for your companion.

Here is the final result in granite. [image] .2mm deep vcarve for all tool paths with .1 DOC in the granite with PCD endmill.

These are very nice. Well done.

That looks awesome. I have some old granite pieces I was hoping to use one day. It’ll be wood for a while, but when I get to that granite, I’ll come back to this post. Do you need water involved to cut stone like this?

You should use water for a longer life of your end mill. But I did cut these dry. It worked fine but i am working on a water system now that will not flood the mill room also. I already have orders for more pet memorial so I need to get cracking I guess on the water system.

Those are nice, how long it took you to do one of those?

Most of them take 4-6 hours and the cuts are shallow and the point is about .20 so clearing a larger area takes a fair amount of time. I do drink coasters in about an hour or so I think. The 6x6 pet marker with the cat ran about 7-8 hours I think due to size and how large the design was.

Hi, I have only reason XC for engraving on granite I try many bits not getting good results I need shallow depths for plaques but cant works whenever I try Z axis have lot vibration and lower V wheels getting loose while carving I seen you did carve here any more updates how you are doing still any …
