What kind of machine will do stainless steel or brass engraving

[JayPunchbuggy]

Thank you Jonathan for your advice.

I've been looking at some options and ran across Redsail,Cutting Plotter,Vinyl plotter,Vinyl cutter . I will contact them directly to see if theirs can do the job. Its a bit more money, but it also seems to be a good price for a much larger machine... Perhaps they well run a test.

I larger bed would be nice, and I'm sure I could find work to create for it.

Or maybe I should just limit myself to brass... There are a lot of options for me to consider.

Cheers,
-Jay

That eagle is familiar.. Seem to recall someone on here bought one of them a while back and was having problems setting it up...?

That looks crazy good for the money! Profile rails on all axis, steel construction (though can't see geometry under the covers of the gantry), flood coolant ability. Very nice indeed. Though I just noticed, only one bearing block per rail on the Z axis... possibly on all axis!

Well, I ordered a 6040 machine from eBay and it is meant to arrive tomorrow. I figured that ill be able to learn a lot from it without breaking the bank. Should do what I need for now. Fingers crossed. Will post my experiences...

Maybe my next machine will be home built.
