Anyone have success with Cermark on Aluminum Axe Heads

[Ross Moshinsky]

Simple question: 60W laser with 2" lens and lmm-6000 Cermark.

Am I going to be able to put a nice mark on a polished aluminum axe head? I assume yes, but first hand experience is always helpful.

Not likely. Aluminum is difficult enough and when you throw in polished it gets even worse. You would be better off using your rotary engraver and oxidizing instead.
