I just found some subjects talking about cutting onto CDs. Is this possible and if so, is it possible with a t560?

Most people emboss onto cds because they are polycarbonate. My guess is that the polycarb would wear down yr cutting diamond fairly quickly. But you could potentially turn an old, slightly worn diamond around 180 degrees and emboss with it. Tragwag would probably know.
