Using Engraving Tools

There is some confusion between etching and engraving. You mark the object to be etched with a corrosive sunstance such as acid or sand blasting in conjunction with a resist material. The resist material is used to mark out the letters or logo protecting some areas from the corrosive substance. On the other hand with engraving the object is marked mechanically. Using a diamond or carbide tipped tool the leather, tools, or glass is marked.

Engraving tools can be used for marking in metal, glass and other hard to engrave material. In years gone by the engraving of metal was done by hand by artisans with a good eye and sharp tools. Ink was pressed into the patterns cut int to the printing plate. The top surface cleaned off and a press would be used to push paper into the cuts with the ink to transfer the ink to the paper. That is intaglio printing. Now a days when referring to engraving people are meaning cutting using either an electric engraver hand tool or it could be computer programed. Programs on computer control CNC engraving.

When you are looking for engraving tools for sale, you will find Demel, Inscriblio engravers, and also the cheaply made versions from China. It will depend on what you are doing as to which type and model of engraver you buy. If is is a quick one off job then buy the cheapest you can find. it could be that you just want to inscribe your details on an item that could be easily lost for some identification. Be careful if you are thinking of engraving a senstive item like a camera with the vibrating hand tool engraver
