Thread: pen engraving

If it is only pens and small things (bottle stoppers, rings etc), you could do a lot worse than the inexpensive Neje DK-BL 1500mw laser engraver from Gearbest. That only engraves 42mm x 42mm flat surfaces BUT Bob Pace in Australia has developed a rotating jig so you can engrave pens. Have a look at his YouTube video at !!! FREE TO MAKE - Neje Laser 360 Rotary jig, for use with all Neje Style Chinese laser engravers. - YouTube I bought my engraver and the jig from Bob just before Christmas and I have been REALLY impressed with the results - so much so that I now want to engrave bigger things but this will still be my 'place to go' for engraving pens.
Hope it helps
Paul

Thanks Paul,
that rotary invention is a beauty! Unfortunately that particular laser is not suitable for ally, but it has opened a new area for investigation. I'll be looking at cheap printers in a whole new light. Do you have a contact for Bob Pace?

Bob is on [email protected] I found it great that the jig is made of mdf and an elastic band - and it works a treat. He is a very clever chap.

regards
