Hiya Mandy,

Power 8 to 12
Speed 200 to 300

and see what happens :)

Too much power or too low a speed will result in heat cracking the glass.
Start low and work up is about the best way to go

best wishes

Dave

Hi Mandy,
We use an engrave speed of 400 and a power of 35-40 % but we always cover the glass with wet paper as this works like a heatsink.
Give it a try and you will see the difference. ;)
