Etching Tools?

[Archer Here]

I’ve been trying to find some reasonably priced etching tools? Hobby & hardware stores I’ve been to in town have etching, but not for steel. I’d like to have something that would allow me to customize my makers mark, versus just having the ABC templates.

This is what I use: http://jantzsupply.com/cartease/item-detail.cfm?ID=EC302 They also carry another one that is about $70.00 less but its not quite as powerful.

I can make one more powerful than the personalizer plus for you. I have been making them and selling them for a while now. PM me if your intrested.

If you want to take the time, you can make an etcher that is 12/24v switchable, and AC/DC switchable too. $60 for everything give or take.

On the left, click on tutorials, and click on the etcher page.

Here is the thread with the schematic, and do the mod as explained in the last post to get 12/24V.

I am not all that electrically inclined but I got it all together in a few hours. I got my stencils made from TUStech, and got electrolyte from them too for stainless.
