Advice needed. CNC for watch dials and engraving.

JAZZCNC - That was an exceptionally useful post, thank you. I had thought the higher spindle speeds would be necessary with such small tooling.

Can you think of any particular engraving machines that I should look out for? If I could somehow stretch to £5k (sell some toys) could you do anything with that? You must have an incredibly long waiting list?

Hi,

Gravotech is a very capable engraving machine and can be picked up relatively cheaply, though not exactly common, they do show up from time to time.

Regards us being able to make a machine with £5k then yes possibly can, though won't be able to supply much more than a 30K rpm spindle for that kind of money. But 30Krpm is still very usable with small tools.
In terms of strength and accuracy then yes without a doubt we can build a small machine for £5K. The best thing to do is email me so we can discuss it, my email is below.
