By Daniel Fisher


There are different kinds of crafts that one can choose from. Engraving has been used over the years and has evolved to modern techniques as well. This process can be used in different materials and produce quality impressions. Detailed from below are factors to consider in engraving Mercer County.

Chiseling aspect. This method is common for people who work in woodcraft since it is fairly soft compared to other materials such as metal. Also, it can be done over stones and is commonly used to make an impression on tombstones. It is a tedious activity hence it requires a professional artisan who is experienced in handling the respective tools used.

Use of photo mask. This procedure works for granite surface, ceramic, metals, and stones. It requires the engraver to apply stencil on the surface of the item using compressed air. The engraver will use an abrasive material to propel it onto the surface of the stencil to produce an image. This might produce a fairly light image or a deep one depending on the choice of clients.

Rotary machines. This is a manual tool which has a rotating item which is attached to a spindle. The spindle is used to form the grooves on a surface of materials like gold, titanium, stainless steel and wood. The pressure that the engraver puts on a surface determines the image that it will form. Deep cuts are supposed to make quality images but require thick surfaces.

Fiber laser. Laser in this process is delivered through an optic cable which is attached to the cutting head. The optic cable is supposed to maintain precision by directing the laser beam towards the direction. This process is used in metallic objects such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and brass. Coated metallic objects are not supposed to be used in this procedure.

Laser carving. This process uses a laser but is quite different from the fiber laser. It uses a small laser beam which looks like a pencil and is directed to the surface of a product supposed to be made. The image produced from this process is highly accurate since it uses a computer to aid in the control. Further, it can be used for small items such as jewelry, some types of metal and hardwood surfaces as well. Even so, it does not do well in ceramics.

Select an engraver. The engraver you choose for the process determines the kind of results to achieve. Therefore, you should take time comparing different professionals within your reach to conclude on the best. Check for aspects such as the kind of reputation one has established, whether he or she has a working permit and the capacity to use the required tool effectively to determine whether the engraver is suitable enough.

Beware of the charges. The amount to pay for this services is based on the type of impression you have chosen. It is worth spending a reasonable amount but achieves your expectations, but you should first be satisfied with the kind of work your ideal engraver can offer.
