Computer Engraving is done by Rotary, Burnishing and
Diamond Drag techniques using a computer to actually
move the engraving tool. Rotary engraving uses a tool
with a "V" shaped cutting end. A "Flat" spot at the
tip of the "V" determines the width at the bottom of
the cut. Varying the depth of the cut allows the engraver
to vary the "Look and Feel" of the cut. This is most
often done with plastic. Burnishing uses a tool
very similar to a rotary cutting tool but has no
"Cutting" edge. Instead this tool polishes the top
surface of brass or aluminum. The wider tip of the
tool allows for a bolder effect than Diamond Drag.
As its name implies, Diamond Drag engraving is done
by dragging a fine tipped diamond across the surface
of the material which is typically Brass, Aluminum or
other metals. The line engraved is very fine
and works very well with complex or
elaborate letter styles and logos.
Our Engravers

Steel and
Aluminum are coated
with a clear finish. Burnishing or Diamond Drag
Engraving cut through this finish allowing us
to Oxidize (darken) the lettering if desired.
