David Horrabin Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Hi all Is a Silca marker still the best option for engraving keys ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Not really much better would be to purchase an engraving machine. Allows engraving of cylinders/keys and padlocks. Last year alone we engraved over 5000 padlocks for one customer. You can also offer pet tag engraving etc. EST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockdecoders Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 magic engraver or if you budget can stretch then the Magic L2-20 laser machine. There are a lot of locksmiths who have one of our engraver to engrave keys and padlocks etc. Technical Tony Davenport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Don’t bother with a laser machine, cannot cut into material so it will engraving will wear off over time. Laser will be quicker but better finish that’s lasts with cutters or diamond drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockdecoders Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 depends on the power of the laser. It does not wear off on the laser engraving as it removes the material . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
