cobblers.keys Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 What is the best computer engraving machine for engraving trophy plates eg easy software to use, quick speed, quality finish etc. Not necessarily one to do multiple plates at the same time. Speed and quality finish is more important where I can set up different size plates quick and easy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy101077 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 U-MARQ Rx5 Really simple software, very fast and have preset templates shields scrolls etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 These 40 medals took 1min 20secs each to engrave on full speed using microgramma font. So ideally I need something faster for multiple jobs and medals etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyboy101077 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I've just replicated your medal job on a U-MARQ RX5 got it down to 31 seconds, using the same font and diamond spinning you could do it quicker with a single line font using a 0.10 Burnishing diamond 17 seconds. , but not as bold, cobblers.keys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 On another note. What is the best all rounder machine ( one machine does it all ) that will cover large cups and salvers and small items as above?

cobblers.keys Posted September 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thanks Gray, how good is this for glass engraving compared to sandblasting or lasering? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco78th Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Possibly controversial opinion. But I have a sandblaster. UMarq CX and sure grave rotation S. Before I got the sandblaster which is my latest addition. I was never particularly happy with how the Umarq engraves glass. Its a powerful machine where the default glass engraving settings are ludicrously high. So spent a long time dialing it in and slowing it down. Even then I found it went through diamond tips much faster than the S and the finish on the glass is not so clean along the edges. Basically I only used my rotation S for glass engravings as it produced a much softer. Cleaner cut. Now I have the sand blaster I blast pretty much all glass. Exceptions being pariculary small or intricate designs but will always use the S over the Umarq in that case.* Umarq I found. Thanks to its power is much better on brushed steel and the like though. However depending on engraving space. I'd likely blast that these days as well. *I have no option but to use the S currently on anything cylindrical that can't be blasted as the motor on the U axis of the CX machine pulled to much power and fried the chip around the U plug. Pulled the connection out to fix that issue but now can only use the umarq in flatbed configuration until I get a new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteBear Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I've been using the Epilog Zing 24 for engraving trophy plates, and it's been awesome! The software is user-friendly, and you can easily set up different size plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, looked for 4 years and couldn't find one. Bit the bullet and got a new one. Marino should be able to help if one is going anywhere.

cobblers.keys Posted March 4, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2024 Which engraves plates quicker volume or Umarq ? Also which has easiest software to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy101077 Posted March 4, 2024 Report Share Posted March 4, 2024 Well let’s put it to the test , I have a vast collection of u-marq machines, anyone got a volume , needs to be the same size plate, the same font , the same amount of text etc , let’s do it . cobblers.keys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted March 4, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2024 I would like to see a demo on these machines because I must invest in a fast capable machine this year before the busy trophy season kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy101077 Posted March 4, 2024 Report Share Posted March 4, 2024 In that case you need a u-marq rx5 or fx5 , the volume and universal. Are way to slow to do plates . Good all rounder machines, but you actually need a smaller machine for speed cobblers.keys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Car Key Guy Posted March 5, 2024 Report Share Posted March 5, 2024 Got an M20 for sale if interested. Really fast and simple to use for the likes of trophy plates etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted March 12, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2024 (edited) Which is faster as a small engraver for trophy plates between gravograph M20 v Umarq rx5 and is capable of engraving inside/outside rings? I am looking at either of these and hopefully picking up a gravograph volume very soon. Edited March 12, 2024 by cobblers.keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
