I use an Epilog Helix laser engraver. Those of you that are familiar with that series of engrave know that the stock rotary from Epilog has much to be desired. That being said... I built a mandrel based rotary for my Helix. Not only is a very precise at cutting inlays it excels also at doing full 360 degree seamless tube wrap engravings. Here are a few examples of some that I made for door prizes for my woodworkers club's Christmas party this past year. The first picture (the Sierra) I must attribute the design to Craftsmanspace.com. The 3rd picture is a paver design I found on the net and redrew to fit the slimline tube. It has over 1600 individual drawing elements on each tube. The fourth picture was inspired by a cutting board pattern that I adapted to fit the slimline tube.
