Engraving Metal with Cricut Explore Air 2 (or Cricut Maker) 

Oh my goodness - I have the Air 2 and now I can engrave on metal? Amazing !

Thank you for the video. I received my engraving tool and it work great with my Explorer Air 2. Thanks again

My, my Lady Angie, you're totally fantastic. Thank you for this magical tutoriel. This is good to engrave information (address or phone numbers on a metal key ring for an Alzheimer person, friend or family.

Love this idea. Might use it for my kids classmates this Christmas. So easy to do. I love that you keep your videos short and to the point. Thank you for that.

Oh these ornaments are absolutely darling!! Thank you very much for all the tips and full instructions! 🧦🎄🧦🎄🧦🎄🧦🎄🧦

Love this video! Please do more tutorials like this for the explorer air 2.

That worked out so well! I'm so glad it worked for you! I definitely need to pick up one of those enamel markers!!!

Wow I never knew I could engrave with my maker. Love your videos.

Ordered all the supplies. I can't wait to do this! This was my reason for wanting a Maker, so if this works, I won't need to upgrade for awhile!

You made it look so doable. Super excited

amazing! Thank you! I actually made a real dog tag, for my dog! Great instructions as usual!!

Well this opens up a whole new world! How fun and exciting! Thank you so much for this awesome info!!

Thank you for your help. I had emailed you and you literally emailed me back shortly and was very helpful! ❤

Perfect timing - this is going to be part of my Christmas sets! Yay! Thank you for this tutorial

Great video I have a Cricut explorer 2 air and I am so happy that I can in-grave ❤️❤️

Thanking you, will go to Amazon to order the engraving tool.

I’ve seen this too before I don’t think I would have trusted it before now thanks Angie Holden

This worked perfectly, thank you for your awesome content.

Angie be dropping them 💎

Cute project! I just bought the Maker 3 and a few of the tips- yup all but the wavy lol🤦‍♀️ can’t wait to try out metal engraving

Thank you for all the great demonstrations.

Great video! I would suggest you snap a quick picture of the instruction guide for the engraving tool with your phone in case misplace it later on.

Another awesome video. Thank you so much Angie! Ordering my engraving tip asap 😀

That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing!

This blade could engrave Stainless steel? Very useful video!

WOW, thank you for sharing. Am going to try.

love this.. Thanks Angie

This would be awesome to use to make pet tags for your pets.

This is wonderful, Thank you Angie.

Great tutorial! I will have to try this out! Thanks Angie 😊

Awesome! Can't wait to try it.

Awesome video and so much great info. Thank you!

I think the hardest part is figuring out just what size your font needs to be to fit on what you are engraving

Angie would a person be able to engrave acrylic with this blade that you used?? Thank you! You an amazing teacher

Thank you very much.

Am I missing the link to this engraving tool? I don’t see it

Darling. Thank you so much. 💞

Hello, great video! I was curious about the thickness of the ornaments?

Cut the shapes out in card stock what you line up on the corner that way you can do batches that all look consistent just load the ornaments into the cut outs as a jig

When I select writing fonts, it automatically goes to pen and doesn't give me the option to select basic cut.

Thank you for this, Angie! Should I select “More” pressure in Design Space once I’ve set the custom cardstock setting?

I can’t find the links :(

Thank you! This video was very helpful! Would you use the same process and tools to engrave on acrylic?

cool video! is it the same process when doing an image on the explore air 2 with a housing and engraving tip?

Is there an engraving tool that will fit and old Cricut expressions machine?

I wanted to do this engraving on dog tags with the name of the dog rescue I volunteer for. To keep them from scratches, what would you recommend as a protective shield over the engraving: clear nail polish or even a few coats of lodge podge?

I bought a engraving tip but it doesn’t reach all the way down to my metal. It makes the cutting motions but doesn’t cut nor touch my metal, please help

The company that makes those blanks has blanks in different types of metal. Have you tried anything bedsides aluminum?

Can you engrave acrylic with this same tip?

Thank you so much for this video. I just ordered my tool for my exploer 2 and I cant wait to try it . Do you recommend any certin dor tags, brands ect? If so do you have a link?

Hello Angie. Can you please send me the link for the engraving tool? I am not sure how old this video is. I couldn't locate the link you mentioned.

How thin does the metal have to be? Would a 1/4” thick piece work?

Can u make a round sign with this machine I'm brand new to cruicut

can this be used on the metal bracelets from the same company as well?

hey thanks for the video!i actually got my housing and engraving tip today and i have an image i wanted to engrave on some metal and wanted to know if its the same process using images with letters and or pictures?

Love the video. Can I use the marker engrave blade in my explorer?

Hi! Can I use my Explorer 2 to make the metal cuff bracelets as shown in your other video?

And... what is the smaller size you recommend to avoid problems?

Awesome

Can I use this tool for maker 3 also As i dont have engraving tip planning to buy this cheaper one

Doesn't Cricut make an engraving tool? I thought they advertised that it can engrave. You would think they would have the tool? I'm a newbie. I just got my Maker yesterday. 3-3-22

Hi! I’m trying my first engraving. I put engraving tool in the holder B as you show on your video but when I started to engraving it seems to use the clamp A which is nothing in there. How can I fix it? Thank you

Will this work on leather?

I dont know if I'm doing some thing wrong because I think this tool absolutely stinks! Mine keeps popping out the slot while its cutting. I have been using the cricut aluminum plates and have cut like 35 times and u can barely see the cut on the plate. I'm so frustrated with it.

thank you for the video. how small of a font do you think the tool is capable of engraving?

Gracias por tu video

Have you tried this on stainless steel or only aluminum?

Hi so you put the option on custom in your machine?

Hi with it work on a regular air Explorer?

Can you use chrome book with design space.

The housing tool I bought wouldn’t work on my explorer air 2. It wasn’t long enough to touch the metal.

So I got the engraver and now my cricut won’t cut with the normal knife, do I need to recalibrate or something?

Hi! I love this video!! I would like to engrave a downloaded picture. Is it possible?

I tried doing this with acrylic and some one the words weren’t completely engraved and when I tried going for another time it was off.

Can I use this same process for engraving on plexiglass or acrylic sheets? I am assuming the answer will be yes but an curious

Hi Angie... Do you think this can be useful on silver ?

Would this tip also work for thin plastic to make things like keychains?

How do you use the other engraving blade? I have it but thought I couldn't use it for my Explorer Air 2

Can you use this engraving method on a metal kitchen spatula, using the Cricut Explore Air 2, or is it the ornament metal it would only work with? Thanks much!

Can you use the quick swap housing in the explore air 2 ? As Iv tried but it’s not working

do you have a viedo on engraving on leather with this tool? Or has anyone tried it on leather. I understand the leather has to be 2mm or less. I want to try using leather on the Explore 2 with the tip you used in this video from Amazon. Thanks!

where can you find the metals from that are small in size for personalized items to engrave on?

how can I order this tool for explore 2

Couldn’t find the website to order the engraving tool.

Hi Angie can I use this tool on acrylic blanks?

can you use the cricut maker engraving tool on the explore air 2?

can we also engrave acrylic with the explore air 2 with this engraver?

The link dosent seem to be working?

Will the graving tool for the Maker fit on the explorer 2

Hi! I just tried this and my first pass came out rough feeling, do you think I should have let it go twice to make it smoother? Yours looked more deeper after a first pass than mine did. Suggestions?

Is this toll good for engraving acrylic?

Can this engraving tool be used with the Cricut Joy?

hello can you make smaller letters for medallions 18 mm?

Can you share where you got these tags?

How do you prime a marker?

I have an Air 2 and bought the Cricut brand engraver and I can’t make it work. Should I have purchased the other one you showed instead? I am a Cricut newbie.

This was very informative, however way to much talking

Personally I would not be happy with the quality of this engraving. It looks very amateurish. Sorry to say. I would neither sell nor gift these. The 'Hazel' is so jagged.

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! I’m going overseas and wanted to make keychains with FRIEND in Arabic and it was gonna cost a fortune. You just saved my idea from the “I can’t afford that” pile 🫶
