Deeper mark through chrome plating into base steel. Good for permanent ID on tools and hardware. Mark may show slight colour variation at chrome/steel boundary. Single pass sufficient for most plating thicknesses.

Chrome plated steel — Zippo-style lighters, tool handles, and hardware. IR removes chrome plating in the marked area to expose steel below. Contrast depends on plating thickness. Start with a test mark and adjust power. Thicker chrome needs more power.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
