ff-extreme 6 Posted February 19, 2008 Someone told me the cutters can be used for engraving, is this true? How is that done? I have a CoPam 2500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted February 19, 2008 Our local news station did a piece on engraving monuments (cemetery headstones). they showed how cutters are used to create the premask for sandblasting. I think I will buy a small sandblaster at harbor Freight and give it a try on tile. But as for actually engraving I'm not sure how they could be used for that.

Guest fivestar Posted February 19, 2008 I'm "pretty sure" there are add-ons to certain cutters that will allow you to engrave with them. If my memory serves me correctly Billy Hughes was going to check into them and post his findings on this board, but Billy has since went MIA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malachiind 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Yes, there are flatbed cutters that will do engraving. They just have multilple attachments. should be able to google it. I have seen them at trade shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Bonham 1 Posted February 20, 2008 In the scrapbooking industry there are scratch engravers that can be fitted to a vinyl cutter However i have not been able to track down the manufacturer. There are a few resellers who sell these. In effect they just scratch the surface. here is a link to the most popular site. http://www.pazzles.com/accessories.php If anyone knows who make these please tell us. I am sure that US Cutter would love to sell these accessories. Jerry from SignBlazer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
