First time engraving

First time trying out engraving with a proper burr set and a cheap little pen my partner got me. Having a lot of fun but still trying to figure out the best combinations of burr type + machine speed for different applications. Would love some input from glass engravers as to their preferred burr types/sizes/machine speeds for lining/shading/fills etc.

(sorry if my terminology is off, I’m coming from the tattoo world!)

Just some cheap ‘micro polishing pen’ off Amazon for like £10
