Anyone do professional engraving?

Looking for someone who done quality professional engraving, i was wanting my avatar on a Mag D tail cap, once engraved to look something like thishttp://www.fretsonthenet.com/punisher.jpg

If anyone does this I'd love to see some photos of your work!

Find me a Jpg or preferrably a DWG or DXF of the avatar and I can CNC it on a Mag Cap.

Excellent! What kind of price are we speaking of?

And will this work? http://www.superherostuff.com/OtherItems/Stickers/Images/punisher_sticker_outline_white_2.jpg

$20 plus shipping. What color Mag?

Mac

Cool, you do work on Glock parts also?

Anyone ever attached a custom plaque to a Maglite for engraving?

To customize a name or event for a gift?

Ideally it would follow the curve of the body on the backside and be fastened in an ingenious way to not show a fastener (Maybe as simple as a robust cement if it would work on the materials) and then be a suitable finish and polish, i.e. brass, or nickel or gold plated etc..

I think if someone came up with a turnaround system for people to send in a host for plaque installation with perhaps different fonts and laser scrolling, or at least sent a concave backed Mag Mounting Plaque Kit with the engraving already on it, it would be a hot seller.

Are you looking to have just the outlines machined like in mrartillery's pic, or "colored" in too like in the picture? Because those have been laser etched

Excellent! Black for the color :twothumbs

The Black anodize chips the most of all the colors. PM me if you want to do it.

:sigh: Good to know though, thanks for telling me!

I will most certainly keep that in mind, as it will probably be a couple weeks before im ready to start on my newest project anyway. But I will most certainly be back in touch! :thumbsup:

One question. Does the chipping occur during the process or is it a later residual effect from the engraving?

The anodize chips during machining.


Mac

Understood, thanks!

See the chipping in the Black? It's almost non existent in the other colors.

Those look great Mac. What machine/setup do you use for these?

Hey Mac,

I was just wondering, how did you get the picture into the CAM software?

Thanks,
Kirk

Damn! Thats awesome! Thats exactly the way i had it pictured

That chipping isnt too awful bad i may could live with that, but im still deciding between red and black for the color, although the black is stealing my heart.
