    I keep seeing the Qinux Gravizer listed for glass but I’m not sure how well it actually works. Has anyone tried it on a glass surface without it skipping or just scratching instead of engraving? I don’t want to ruin a mug or something.

    I used mine on a couple of glass beer mugs and it worked fine for me. No skipping or scratching, just took it slow and used the diamond tip. You definitely need a steady hand but it’s not as hard as people make it sound.

    I’d be more worried about the user than the tool if it skips or scratches. Going too fast or pressing too hard is probably the issue, not the engraver itself.

    I gave it a shot on a glass photo frame I didn’t care about too much, and it came out alright. I just kept the speed steady and didn’t push down hard, no scratches or anything. Feels like it’s more about getting a feel for it than the tool itself.

    I gave it a try on a couple of wine glasses I had lying around and it did the job without any issues. I didn’t notice any scratching or skipping, but I didn’t rush through it either. Just kept a steady pace and it came out clean enough for a gift.

    Honestly, I think people overthink this. It’s just an engraving pen, not a laser cutter—take it slow and it’ll be fine on glass.

    I gave it a go on a glass jar just to test it and honestly it was fine. No scratches or anything, just a clean little engraving. I think people get too worried about it.

    Oh I’ve been wondering the same thing actually. I figure if you just go slow and don’t press down like you’re trying to carve a rock, it probably works fine on glass. Might grab one to try on a plain vase sometime.

    I’d be more worried about pressing too hard than the tool itself. I tried it on a random glass bottle and it worked fine, just keep the movement loose and steady.

    Works fine on glass if you don’t rush it. I used mine on a plain glass plate and it didn’t skip or scratch, just took a bit of patience. Not a big deal honestly.

    It’s hit or miss in my experience. Worked on a glass coaster I tried but I wouldn’t trust it on something I actually cared about.

    I’ve used mine on a few glass things and it’s been totally fine, no skipping or scratching. I think people freak out too much about it, just don’t press down like you’re trying to dig a hole.

    I think it mostly depends on the glass itself. Some of my smooth glass items came out fine, but a textured bottle I tried didn’t take the engraving well at all.

    It works if you just let the tool do the job. I’ve used mine on a few glass pieces and never had it skip or scratch anything, even on some cheap wine glasses. People overthink it.

    Alright, I’ve read enough replies. Sounds like it works fine if you don’t go at it like a gorilla. I’ll probably just grab a cheap glass first to test it and stop overthinking it.

    Glass just needs a slower hand, the tip does most of the work.
