Does anyone do your own engraving? If so, what machine do you use? I have had several customers ask if I could personalize a pen. I've looked at several machines online but not sure which way to go. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have an epilog mini 40 watt. And yes they are expensive!
Rotary engraver
Thanks for the response. I was thinking along the line of a rotary engraver like the Roland EGX-20 which has an optional pen vise. On the Full Spectrum CO2 did you get the mini rotary attachment to hold the pen?

I do mine on a DIY CNC. A few around here have recently bought the Taig 4 axis mill setup. With a rotary axis, software and accessories you can do this for about $3K or less. Just a different approach than laser, each of which has other capabilities depending on what else you want to do.

I purchased a Full Specturm 5th gen 40w in February. Great little machine!

I use an Epilog Helix 60 watt laser.
Yes, I also bought the rotary attachment. It works great.

I have a rotary attachment as well. I love the fact that it takes the guess work out of centering it up!
Am looking into getting an engraver and would like some clarification on the Roland EGX-20. I see that it has a MV-1 vice which is suitable for pens. Does it rotate the pens? And if not how does it deal with the curves?
Thanks

I have a 100 watt laser and a CNC router both with rotary tables. I am upgrading my laser to a 130 watt tube
