Guest sifis_samos Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Guys i am thinking in the future to buy a simple engaving machine..i will not need something too sophisticated, but something simple to make tags ,mark keys and simple small signs...i saw recently a Giotto machine and it surelly exceeds my needs,but 4500e are tooo much for me this moment..are there any other options?.maybe second hand or a cheaper model?..i am all new to this project so excuse me for my lack of knowledge!

key cabin Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Have a chat with the guys at Gravograph i am sure they will be able to point you in the right direction. They have machines for all pockets and wont rip you off. I got one from them and have never looked back, mind you it did cost £3500 but has been well worth it.

Danny King Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi, I would recomend the little gem from umarq. We have had one for three years and has been a great little machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gardner Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi,I would recomend the little gem from umarq. We have had one for three years and has been a great little machine. i bought the roland egx350 from mastergrave excellent value for money and the training and back up support was great.

ANDY Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I would recommend a little gem too. if you only want to do small bits and bobs. great machine for jewellery, zippo's, pet tags, trophy plates and small signs or if you can stretch a bit more try looking for a second hand IS200 from gravo. it's a tough old work horse. invaluable in my shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I agree with Andy, I would try and stretch to a is200tx, as he says they are invaluable in our work place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I picked up an almost new one with software, cylindrical device & lots of bits and bobs for £3500. There are bargains out there if your prepared to look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
