I purchased an engraving machine, that does more than just engrave serial numbers. It can imprint photos on steel pendants, flasks, stainless steel knife handles and other softer materials. I just got it set up and am going through the house to see what I can engrave. I hope I can get a return on investment. Looks like I may do some fairs or something and sell some metal photo dog tags and such.

Keep making those quarters and your return on investment can come rather quickly. 50 cent pieces would be twice as fast a return peep

Nice! Can it cut thin metal or just engrave?

Uhhh that's illegal sir...lol...

Chessie, It can only engrave. I got other machines that can cut meatal.

Thewrap, around $14 shipped with a photo of choice printed. I think the pics needs to be pretty good.

How deep does it engrave? You could do SBR engraving if it's deep enough.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Toxarch, never thought of that.

cerda12, I need to check on the Vickers hardness of those and see if it is soft enough for my type of engraver.
