We have introduced a high quality and varied range of corporate gifts, glassware, trophies & awards that we stock in our shop in the Southside of Glasgow at 1245 Cathcart Road. We engrave with state-of-the-art Laser and computerised engraving machines as well as offering a traditional hand engraving service. With over 20 years engraving experience we can engrave on many different materials using several different engraving techniques. You would hate to give someone a birthday present that kills them, no matter how cool it looks.Art of Engraving offer a first class engraving service to all types of commercial, industrial, domestic and service industries. (disclaimer- engraving onto a structural part may weaken the carabiner) I engraved the locking barrel which bears no weight. I have no picture but I engraved my friends name in a really funky font onto a rock climbing carabiner. I once did a really nice one for a birthday present for a friend. For the center punch I made in trade school, I filed a flat spot into the knurling to give myself a nice spot to engrave. (although a grinder would work) Another tip is to try and stay at the same travel speed for the tip, if you dwell too long on a point, you will notice it on the final product. Take your time because this is the final product and I didn't see any engraving erasers beside the engravers. You need to make sure you press hard enough to cut through the paper, you can hear and feel the difference I find. I like to try to keep the tip as perpendicular as possible, longer straight lines could be helped with a straight edge if you felt the need. Very carefully trace the lines in your image with the engraver. Also the better it is stuck down, the less the paper seems to get damaged.
Push it down good because we don't want it to slide when we start. Trim the label if you have to and stick it to the tool where you want to engrave your name. I try to do most of a sheet and I print it out a few different sizes to have some extras around and to be able to fit it the best possible way.
Print out your image onto mailing labels or sticker paper. You have to be careful not to go too fine into the details because some of the paper gets damaged while you are engraving, you will see what I mean when you try it, just trust me for now.
You can dress it up with some fancy art around the name but since that is probably a good way to get myself beat up at work, I'll just make it plain here. Just remember that you are going to use an outline (at least in the beginning) I tried a fill once and found it very time consuming and hard to make it look good. Use your favorite imaging software to create your name in just about any font you want to use.
