Materials
Almost any flat, concave, convex or round jewellery item or gift can be engraved provided it is held securely. To produce custom sized badges, labels or signs then we recommend one of the Suregrave engraving laminates, these can be cut to fit the bed of your machine and allow you to cut to size and shape.

Machine
For very low volumes you could consider a pantograph machine however the price is so close to computerised machines these days that most customers opt for automation.

The right machine for you will be dictated both by the size of the gifts and the space you have available for a machine. If you don’t have access to electricity then a small generator will do. The Wizzard 6 is very portable and will suit engraving start ups with the option to trade in the machine for its original value within 12 months against a larger Suregrave machine. The bigger Rotation S is the ideal machine for the trader with a fixed and permanent pitch with a small footprint yet out size engraving area. The Rotation S is the fastest and easiest machine on the market to swap between flat and round modes.

Today’s fashion for funky jewellery makes a laser engraver an option. They will leave a bright polished edge around acrylic and they can reproduce photographs too. A Co2 laser will not mark pewter or precious metals so it is best considered in conjunction with a rotary engraver.

Machine Options
For the finest and most detailed engraving we recommend the SureTouch accessory with a diamond marking tool. To provide a truly personal message use the Signature Accessory to reproduce your customers handwriting. Depending upon your gifts a selection of jigs for the vice will also be useful.

Workshop equipment
Market traders don’t usually require any additional workshop equipment.

Software
Surelab Lite will provide the basics for text import and engrave but signmakers wanting to Scan and Vectorise logos or produce Braille signs should choose SureLab Pro. SureLab is also available in a laser output only module SureLab PhotoLaser + which includes a host of special features for laser technology.
