    Any tips for beer mugs?

    Hello again everyone,
    Anyone have any good tips for doing beer mugs. it always seems like I put the handle in the wrong place and it hits the cradle or it will not center up right. I can etch pint glasses on one side awesome too but if I need to do both sides I am stuck.
    Thanks for any help everyone.

    beer mug

    Jerry
    I set the mug on the rotary table with the handle down, On mine ( epilog ) I move the top wheel out so it catches the edge of the mug, then I move the base out so the flat spots don't hit the back wheels. Now to position the mug so the handle is on the backside of the rotation and measure and engrave.
    does this help?
