CotswoldEngraver Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I need help with an engraving engraving job we have. I have two cups to engrave as part of a larger order but they just wont fit in our machine! Don't want to send the customer elsewhere as we sponsor their team! Can someone engrave them for me, of course I am happy to travel to you ideally within an hour of us. We are in gloucesterhsire I can provide our details by pm if you want to know exactly where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 How big are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldEngraver Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 How big are they? Hi Steven. They are 1) base diameter 8", height 11.5", handles 10" across 2) base diameter 8", height 12", handles 12" across. the bases can be removed as the engraving is to go on there but they just wont fit into my CX-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Space is probably no more than your current machine takes up. Money? finance it it will pay for itself. Am I right or am I wrong? Fekin right me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 However if we all brought what we wanted we'd be financed up to the neck & would collapse overnight. Investment is important but so to is making what you can afford make a living for itself. When you getting your Blake Gray? Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldEngraver Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I started with a panto off ebay, when i got my CX-4 the panto went back on ebay and sold for the same as i paid for it. Didnt owe me a penny. was left some money in a will so bought the cx-4 outright without having to finance it, great feeling knowing I dont have to pay out for it every month, a worthwhile investment!

windycity Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 ase thats a nice feeling not having much finance. i know that with my set up it really grinds me when i have to turn work away. i only have a gem and panto, which has suited my needs for many years now. i know i'm lagging behind by not having a cx4 or a universal and it drives me round the bend. i would even settle for an old universal/countertop and just upgrade the software. i have missed out on one that came along a while ago. but am ever hopeful. on a different note can your machine engrave the bowls on glenways castle cup range or is it to small for these as well? hope you get it sorted.

It is a great feeling windy, knowing too that the legacy that was left me has been put to such a good use that it basically set me up with the business from nothing. The CX-4 will do up to 5 1/2" diameter cups, I know it will do the smaller ones in the range but not sure what diameter the larger ones are as I havent had to do any of these bigger ones.
