Jesse Tischauser Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 A buddy of mine just dropped some serious coin in a laser engraver so he can customize guns for folks. This one is pretty badass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinsonbeach Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Been thinking of doing that myself. What'd he get? Send me a link? I live in Jax, Northern Florida so I won't be any kind of competition. Thanks, -jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trgt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Do you know what make/model laser engraver he got? I've though about getting a membership to TechShop, they have a local location where among other equipment you get access to is a laser engraver. I remember when the first reasonably priced laser printers came out by Apple in the mid 80's (and of course the cool WYSIWYG software), you rented time at a local shop/paid by the page or had it done for you, now no big deal, everyone has one at home (that wants one). I always wonder what will hit our home first -- a laser engraver, or if my 10 year old daughter has her way, a 3D printer (and 3D scanner).

Jesse Tischauser Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 It's definitely not a toy. It cost more than my 3-gun kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) It's definitely not a toy. It cost more than my 3-gun kit. I'm sure! I think the 'hobby' systems are about $2k minimum for real small/lightweight stuff, I'm sure something you'd use for a shop starts $7-10k then goes up (or WAY up) depending on what it is.

kooyahdesigns Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I wonder if there is places where you can rent a laser engraver? sometimes you just want to mess around with one without having to break a bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwinG Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I wonder if there is places where you can rent a laser engraver? sometimes you just want to mess around with one without having to break a bank Look in your area for a hacker lab, tool library or maker space.

LoganbillJ Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 We have a 30W Versalaser. They are not cheap either. You can find some deals every once in awhile on ebay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I just checked, our local TechShop has Epilog Helix 45-Watt and 60-Watt Laser Cutters -- I might have to go visit them and check out the memberships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLcavediver Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) My wife has been an engraver for many years. She brought this up in an engravers forum and it turns out that you need a federal firearms license to engrave on any thing with a serial number on it. If you get caught the fines are huge. Before you try this you might want to check with the FTA. I know this is an older thread. Jack Edited May 18, 2015 by NFLcavediver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you are changing the serial number you need a license for that.Make ready pro shop is an FFL BTW.
