A bit late to the game here, but another option might be a pencil air grinder. bob |

a bit late just read this engrave and use meths to cool rough out first and then do your final detailed cut fill the engraving let it dry and then linish off with wet n dry paper go down the grades the polish with solvol autosol should look great and be on there forever polecat |

Why not use your die sinker EDM? Edit:Just realised when the original post was made. Apologies for the now pointless contribution. :Doh: |

I engrave cast ally house plates .040 deep with 40 degree engraving bits with no problem. I have a great air bush set up to blow air with a very fine mist of plain water at the bit to cool it. Can't stand any lube as my router is wood. |
