TITs Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Can anyone do me some pictures of work they have produced on an IS200. We need to buy a 400 but need the biz to lift a bit before we do, in the mean time It would be nice to see some of the work you guys have done.

ironplanet uk900 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 The is200 is mainly for jewelery/gift engraving, It is capable of doing small brass plaques but not as well as the 400's. The 400's are more robust and have a larger engraving area. It would be better to ask to see work you are missing out on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Heres some anyway. is this not still not possible on is200 & if not how come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Minit, the question wasn't "what can be done on a is200tx only" I think TITS is looking for inspiration, as to ideas on building on his engraving services. TITs came into the trade with little or no knowledge of the trade, and helping him in any way we can is the order of the day Thats what the forum is great for. He has helped a few including myself in fixing computers, as IT is his field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TITs Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thats what im after, Good ideas, Im keen to work out when the 200 has maxed out and you need to be looking at a 400. Brass plate in particular, never cut any brass yet ! used the gravograph door plates but only scratched the name on, never done any really deep cutting yet ! Will the machine handle deep cuts into brass door plate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Will the machine handle deep cuts into brass door plate ? Yes it will, but you'll need sharp cutters, although there are people who offer a sharpening service, I think your own cutter sharpener is a must. You can't do an exceptable job with blunt cutters, and an infill will be impossible because of the bur left on your engraving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 how do you do such a good job of engraving with spelling like that them signs are quality mark, besides displaying signs and maybe selling a few are there any other methods that you used originally to justify going computerised? (we've never been asked to do a corporate sign and most folk balk at the prices of the house signs that we get from other firms) i'm still considering it but i don't fancy laying out a packet only to find out that it ddoesn't pay in the long run if i can't generate good custom. cheers, rick.

ironplanet uk900 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I was very vary of spending such alot of money going into computerised engraving. It was the best thing I ever did, infact I am investing more and more into it all the time. I wouldn't go into it half hearted, you need the whole 9 yards to be really successful with it (in my opinion) You need an engraving machine capable of doing a wide range of products, House signs, memorial plaques, Corporate signs etc. and with it you need a saw for cutting out materials, a cutter sharpener, a bevelling machine, edge rounder. And just as important a good range of materials & engravable products. With all these things at your disposal I guarentee you'll be a big success.
