Cricut QuickSwap Engraving Tip — Silver replacement tip for Maker, precise permanent engraving on glass metal leather

Cricut QuickSwap Engraving Tip (Silver) is a replaceable engraving point that snaps into a QuickSwap housing to add permanent, detailed engraved designs to glass, metal, leather, and more. The QuickSwap Engraving Tip is a single replacement tip (housing sold separately) made to work with Cricut Maker machines and the QuickSwap tool system. It lets you convert digital designs into crisp, lasting engraved details—from personalised monograms and keepsakes to decorative accents on anodized aluminium. Use it with Design Space’s engrave Linetype and follow material-specific settings to get the best results.

What materials can the engraving tip work on?

The engraving tip performs best on flat, relatively hard or coated surfaces where an indented or revealed-metal look is desired. It is designed for a wide range of materials but requires the correct material settings and sometimes masking to protect surfaces.

• Glass (for text and shallow decorative engraving)
• Leather and faux leather (for subtle indents and monograms)
• Flat metals and anodized aluminium (reveals silver beneath coatings)
• Acrylic and some plastics when using recommended settings

How do I install and use this QuickSwap engraving tip?

Installation is tool-free: press the tip into a compatible QuickSwap housing until it snaps. Load the housing into your Cricut Maker, choose the engrave Linetype in Design Space, and follow the suggested material settings and pressure for your chosen substrate.

• Tip only—QuickSwap housing and tool base are sold separately
• Snap tip securely into QuickSwap housing before inserting into machine
• Use Design Space or recommended settings for each material
• Test on scrap material to dial in depth and pressure

What kinds of projects benefit most from this tip?

This tip is ideal for projects that need a durable, refined engraved look rather than surface printing. It’s frequently used for gifts, personalised items, and craft pieces where a permanent impression increases perceived value.

• Personalised jewellery tags, dog tags, and keepsakes
• Home décor accents, nameplates, and wooden or metal signs
• Custom monograms, logos, and inscribed inspirational quotes
• Decorative detailing on leather goods and anodized sheets

How does this tip fit into the QuickSwap tool ecosystem?
