Need Help!- have shopsabre router want to do engraving

[mwestvang]

I own a shopsabre router and would like to do some minor engraving. Maybe a few signs and put our name and logo on some product.

My software allows me to put the graphics in place. What cutting tools work best to do this job?

Thanks,

Dear Mike,
need to know which material you want to use, and which kind of the drawing, then can decide use which tools.

Yep I forgot that part. We work in both aluminum and a variety of woods and we will be doing the graphics in rhino.


Thanks,

Mike

there are special tools for aluminum, they are hard ; and for the wood, there is the 3D Engraving cutter,Triangular sword,Flat-bottomed, all can, rhino is a good program, but i am not vry familiar, we use Type3 more

we purchased some small endmills .020 and .030 along with the sword type engraving tools. The endmills have done a great job but I haven't tried the other tools yet.

Thanks,

Mike
