Brass engraving is made possible by the material’s high malleability. Brass is an extremely popular material for various luxurious and antique decorative items like wine glasses, plaques, furniture parts and trophies. Though laser technologies are widely used by professional brass engravers, manual equipment like the rotary tool still have their place in brass engraving for commercial and individual use.
Basics of Rotary EngravingRotary engraving is a term used to describe the manual way of engraving. It’s a process that involves the use of a cutter to carve out shapes, holes and depths in the metal to form various designs. Despite the many advances in the industry, some long-time engraving companies still use rotary equipment alongside laser cutters for their merchandise.
The Pantograph Machine
The pantograph machine has been the standard equipment for engraving for many of the aforementioned facilities. Being a manual system, the pantograph machine works by holding the cutter into the material then hand-tracing a design template, either in text, graphics, or both—to engrave a design onto the surface of the metal.
Whether for personal or industrial applications you can purchase brass tubing, plates and sheets from leading copper and brass distributors.
