It really depends a lot of accessories, but most tips have made no difference during firing. I am total beginner and wanted to engrave only Christmas presents for my parents. Placer such as the star really work great and fast, but if you want to write something this takes totaaaal long .. It does not work quickly and one must be careful when writing that you do not arrive by Abstellring under the handle on the timber, otherwise the All artwork dirty. Although it has everything works (hence 2 stars) but it took me hours to two small breakfast boards, because you just could not write quickly, Special to everything always had to follow suit 15 times ....
