GrblGru: How to engrave turned parts 

This video shows how to engrave turned parts with a 4-axis CNC machine.
It was already possible to machine round components in the past, but the machining options were very limited. Now, however, it is possible to machine rotationally symmetrical components in a similar way to components on normal 3-axes.
Machining methods such as CUT, POCKET, CHAMFER and even V_CARVE can now also be used on the rotary axis. Engraving in particular now opens up new ways of machining wood, glass and even metal
The video only provides a general overview of a possible process. Basic knowledge of how to use GrblGru is assumed. More detailed descriptions would have driven the length of the video to infinity. For interested newcomers, here is a reference to previous videos and discussions in well-known CNC forums like i.e. CNCzone.
The necessary software GrblGru is free of charge.
You can reproduce all the processes shown in the video in the simulation mode of GrblGru.
