Etching Machine

[backtines]

Well it looks like I might have to go back to an etching machine.

Im happy SOMETIMES! with using my logo press I made . Truthfully Its kinda a pain to get everything straight until you wack the press , then realize that it wasnt straight. Also , it seems like the corner letters may be wearing and you dont get a nice even stamp everytime . So I think I want to make the move.

Can you guys suggestan etching machine that will give me a nice deep etch and then a nice dark finish ?

I always would stamp my blades before HT obviously , and after it came out of HT , the dark finish would be down in the impression which gave it that dark look .

Your thoughts on which machine I should buy ??

Thanks

I've been happy with my Personalizer Plus machine
This was the best price I found. Those are made here in California.

Mike that's the one I use that larry posted have had it for 6 years works well I just need to hold for a longer time then they say to get that dark look. And I etch first then go to mark.

I just use a small battery charger from a yard sale. Works perfect with a paint mask.
reverse the leads and it blackins the etch

I can cut you a new stamp. Or possibly tidy up your existing stamp.
