    have shopsabre router want to do engraving

    I own a shopsabre router and would like to do some minor engraving. Maybe a few signs and put our name and logo on some product.

    My software allows me to put the graphics in place. What cutting tools work best to do this job?

    Thanks,

    Dear Mike,
    need to know which material you want to use, and which kind of the drawing, then can decide use which tools.

    engraving

    we purchased some small endmills .020 and .030 along with the sword type engraving tools. The endmills have done a great job but I haven't tried the other tools yet.

    Thanks,
