Will it hurt a compass if you engrave it. Has anyone done one and what powers and speed would I use?
Thanks penny

Compasses are made of all sorts of materials. If you could be more specific or even include a picture somebody might be able to help.

Hi
I have not see it yet someone called and ask if I could engrave one for her. She is coming next week to show it to me, she said she thinks its stainless steel.
Thanks

I doubt that lasering will affect a compass because it only generates a small amount of localised heat.
