Yes, if it is fast enough and low power enough.<br>
<br>
An etch is just a very light cut, or rather a cut is just a very deep<br>
engrave.<br>
<br>
vector cut mode just draws down the center of the outline of your<br>
shapes in a single pass. you can deepen it by repeating it.<br>
<br>
vector engrave is identical to vector cut it just allows for a second<br>
set of speed/power parameters in the one file.<br>
<br>
engrave mode does a raster scan of the solid shapes so can do much<br>
wider lines and other shapes, and tends to run the cutter at a very<br>
high speed [thats not achievable in vector mode]<br>
<br>
