A little light engraving

To see how accurate the beast is now, I opted for a light weight task and mounted my low cost multi-tool with a sharp point bit. 


I then grabbed an offcut of plastic  ( a block of Delrin that I bought a while ago) and tried engraving a little.

(I also experimented with spraying some white paint on the black Delrin and then sanding it off again to improve contrast... mixed results...more experiments needed)
The multi-tool is clamped by a block that I attach to the main tool support. The main tool support is made for my Blank&Decker router. 

Very impressed!

Looking at this, I should also be able to do PCB isolation milling as well which I've always wanted to try.
