Can you engrave on brass plates (like names on plaques etc) with the Cougar? I am buying the 18" Cougar and the "Gotta have it all" kit next week. Thanks
Tammy

Certainly you can, it works really well

Yet one more thing to go on that - try this now list! It keeps growing! Course, that is why I got a Cougar!

You are so right MeFlick, I just hate seeing a craft project online or getting an idea and not having the equipment to be able to do it. I decided that I was going to replace my Crapcut with the best cutter I could find and the Cougar is it!! I am very excited, it has taken me a few months to save up the funds but I have done it and I will be ordering next week!! **Huge Grin**

You are going to fit in so well with all of us. We are an exciting bunch of Women, except for the 3 men that are members.

OH my, another one to get hooked into engraving. I have found that to be my FAVORITE tool and when I ordered the "Gotta Have IT All" package, I was really wondering if I would ever use it.

I am with you Kim - except that I have not tried to engrave yet (remember I am the one who was afraid of vinyl!!) :ROFLMBO:

So if it took me two years to cut vinyl, it will be at least 5 for engraving metal!! Although I will say I am intrigued by it so will have to just go for it one of these days!!

I love all of the encouragement, along with the enabling, that we get here. You are all such fun!

by **Thyme** » July 26th, 2011, 5:14 pm

You HAVE to try the engraving, it is wonderful!

by **Gigi** » July 26th, 2011, 5:17 pm

I will....... I will......!! Just have to build up my courage again!

by **Thyme** » July 26th, 2011, 5:17 pm

Lol, okay

by **otrbanks** » July 26th, 2011, 6:09 pm

I keep telling my Hubby all of the super cool things that the Cougar can do, He is completely onboard with me getting it but I haven't told him how big a cutter I am getting, that will be a surprise!! LOLOL

by **PennyDuncan** » July 26th, 2011, 6:45 pm

Hey Tammy!!! Girl you are going to LOVE your Cougar!!! I'm SUPER excited for you girl!!!

by **otrbanks** » July 26th, 2011, 6:58 pm

Penny, I just can't wait to place my order and get my Cougar! I am starting to watch the videos and get ready to be a proud owner. I have chatted with Sherri twice and she is an absolute DOLL!! I just know this is going to be a wonderful relationship! LOL

by **Suzan** » July 26th, 2011, 7:45 pm

Go to Penny's blog you will be amazed. Plus all of the other talented people here. Will more than amaze you.

by **otrbanks** » July 26th, 2011, 8:02 pm

Suzan, I have been a friend of Penny's for a very long time and I have been cutting her files since I owned a cutter. (I am one of those that owned the third party software before I owned the cutter) LOL

Gigi, You can do what I did... get an old soda can, cut it open, and then just play with the engraver until you are comfortable with it. That way, you don't "ruin" any "good" metal, and it gives you a chance to see how it works. I did tape the edges down on the mat, since it didn't want to lay flat, but it still worked very well. I didn't do anything I wanted to keep, but I was able to play with the Eggbot extension in Inkscape to see how that worked, and the engraver to see how it looked once engraved.

Don't wait 5 years, or 5 months, to play with it... or you will kick yourself for waiting so long... DO IT NOW!!!! (well at least in the next few days... LOL)

by **Gigi** » July 26th, 2011, 8:24 pm

Will do.

by **kim** » July 26th, 2011, 9:27 pm

Gigi, It is hard to mess up the metal. And if you do, which I did, flip it over and do the other side. No one will see the bad side!! Vinyl scared me more than the metal did.

by **PennyDuncan** » July 26th, 2011, 9:47 pm

Hey Tammy.....get ready girl for a total new love for it!! I TOTALLY agree about Sherri...she IS a treasure...as is Dawn!!! They truly have their customers best interest at heart!!! Once you get used to your new kitty you'll truly wonder how in the world you stood your Crapcut for so long.....I'm SO DARN EXCITED for you girl!!!!
