In this post I will be showing you how I utilize the silhouette cameo's potential by engraving a metal dog tag.
I am not telling you to go out and do it. I'm just showing you that it can be done.
Materials you will need.

1. Cutting mat
2. engraver pen (any pen like engraver with a strong tip)
3. Silhouette pen holder
4. metal ( am using a dog tag, make sure to use thin metal sheets. Nothing too thick, mostly stick to the Cameo's wide specs.

Now that you have all the materials ready follow the instructions or watch the video below.

\

• Step one. Grab your engraving pen and pen holder and place pen inside pen holder.

• Make sure to only allow a small tip of the engraver to be exposed such as this ( image below)

• Place the pen holder into the Silhouette Cameo blade slot
• Make sure there is enough space between the tip of the engraver pen and your cameo
• Grab metal sheet. ( note, not to thick base the thickness of the metal with the thickness Cameo allows. 
• Do not place metal underneath white rolling clips. 
• I am using a dog tag (image below)
  
  

• tape dog tag to your mat using painters tape

• Prepare you text on your Silhouette studio software and use the Heavy Card Stock setting to engraver. Make sure you take proper measurements of your metal and align it with your canvas.
• I unfortunately hadn't done that so the text was too long but you can see in the image below that it did engrave the dog tag. I'm sure if I would take more time testing and tweeking the setting i can engrave a perfect master piece. Or maybe not. I'll let you know
