The Etching Tool Precision Tip by Chomas Creations fits in the blade housing unit in the electronic cutting machines noted in the bullets above. It can be used to finely engrave and/or etch many materials, including acrylic, plastic, glass (if your machine allows this), metal (copper, bronze, silver, aluminum...), and metal clay (would not advise to use on leather unless a precise small area is being worked on, but may tear it - or paper). Although this tool will etch or engrave on Stainless Steel/Steel, the electronic cutting machines themselves do not provide enough pressure to do so. Any material used with this tool should sit on the machine's mat and fit under the machine's rollers. Ensure the machine you use can accommodate the media you desire before committing to specific media use. The Aluminum Blanks: This bundle includes two (2) anodized aluminum blanks for practicing metal etching. Color: Blue - Blank size: 3.50" square (88.9 mm square) - Thickness: .016" (.406 mm), which is 26 gauge. For best results, remove any oils from the blanks by wiping their fronts and backs with alcohol and allow to dry before placing on machine's mat. The blanks may be tumbled for a short time to remove burs after etching. Note before you order: This tool does NOT FIT in these Cricut models: Explore, Explore Air, Explore Air 2, Explore ONE or Cricut Maker.
