lock&quay Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Sorry but I'm new to all of this can the coloured zippo lighters be engraved ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I do but try not to do nothing too detailed. Small fine, scripty text can look a bit rubbish. I advise less wording looks better, but if they want more, then a plainer font will be better. lock&quay and kobblers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lock&quay Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have a Umarq gem machine would the gentle touch (spring loaded ) cutter or brass cutter be best ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Yes rotated, but you will probably need to hatch fill the font to get the same effect as Michael has shown lock&quay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll get a better finish with a carbide cutter as it cuts and you can use a wider tip ( usually 0.2mm or 0.3mm depending on font), whereas the rotating diamond still only drags through, but is a finer point for fine detail. lock&quay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
