    Engraving tool

    I want to use the alphanumeric engraving function provided by Mach 3 on my Taig mill. Any suggestions as to tool or cutter? The application will be light engraving in soft metal (brass, aluminum, nickel silver)

    We use a .0625 ball end mill for this type of engraving. I like the finish in the bottom of the engraving the 4 flute leaves.

    Enjoy!
