If they fix some of the design flaws, and the machine is well maintained it could be used on very soft metals if a strong enough endmill is used. Glass etching is better done with a laser head rather than an endmill, and acrylic could be engraved /etched with either. The troubles I have experienced have to do with the translation of the head, and the inaccurate positioning that resulted.

Yes it would work well for that type of thing. I use it for small parts and it works well.

Yes, it is perfect for that because you want to use a tool that can withstand some pressure or gives you grip while doing the finer, delicate work. I used it to open the back of a blood pressure monitor, which has some of the smallest screws. Even if it is difficult to see the screw head, you can use the tool to find it.

This product is specifically formulated for use on fiberglass, wood and metal.

I don't think so. It's more for plastics and fiberglas. I have never tried it on metal, but, I don't think this is the product for that job.

Iv'e never used mine on glass but for the smaller pieces of metal I use it on I am very happy with it.

I don't know. Sorry I can help you with that. I only use it for glass and plastic etchings.

I haven't used it on anything metal, but I really don't think it would have any problems doing any kind of job. So far mine has worked great for my needs.

This is good for small parts , it will take you a long time to use this with larger items. But for the price, it works well on small jobs.

This would most likely do the job for you. I believe that silver solders are the go-to variety for jewelry. I used it for stainless steel which is typically difficult to solder and it did an outstanding job. With a clean surface and using the supplied flux, the adhesion is excellent. I soldered a hole in the pan of an ultrasonic cleaner, so it is subjected to high-intensity vibration. There has been no problem at all with separation. At the price of this item, it is certainly worth trying.

I have used this on many things and it works very well. I have not used it on Metal.

No. You have to decide what kind of media you need for your application. I use it for tumbling brass and it is great. I use the stainless steel pins and you have to be careful not to run it too long, it'll take the brass finish off.

It will work well on all soft metals including nickel, using normal polishing media. Steel will require a more aggressive media ie: walnut shell with emery or some like compound. Silver, white bronze, and pewter should use white jeweler's rouge.

Yes. We are using ours for pepper and it works great. Since it has ceramic cutters, it is also good for salt which will corrode metal cutters.

Im with Kevin and Dave, don't use anything but estwing. Solid metal allows you to do a lot with it and to it without worrying about it breaking.

Using the proper media, I would think it could be used for all of the metals in the question. The only metal that I have ever used for however is brass.

It is a fine tool for precision work, I use it for small electronics, but I imagine it would be fine for jewelry making.
