    +1 on everything Jazz has said.

    I've been engraving a bit of brass recently (pics attached below) - and you really do want something that's accurate and robust - particularly squareness and accuracy on the Z, as just a bit of variation can spoil the line (too thick or too thin). The good news is that you can build something that'll do the job at a decent price. It'll last you and you'll learn something and have fun in the making of it.
