Hello everyone, welcome to my channel “Triado Custom Engraving”. In this video I will show you my process on how to engrave tattered American flag design on to Glock 19 Gen 4 Slide. I will also go over some tips and tricks when it comes to creating a template and transfer it over to the Glock slide.
This is my first time engraving a gun part so I wasn't sure what to expect out of this. Luckily I have some experience engraving knife blades so it was essentially the same thing, maybe a little harder. As long as you use the right tools you can achieve anything!
As always, I appreciate everyone’s support!

First time engraving a slide, also first time engraving a weapon. Have you tried engraving anything similar to this? What are your experiences?
@chuckburroughs6427 2 жыл бұрын
I hand engrave guns and knives daily with a Lindsay Classic Airgraver pneumatic system. Take some cheap flat white spray paint, and paint the whole slide. Your carbon paper tracing will show up a lot better. I use transfer tape(sign makers use it for vinyl signs) to get the guns outlines. Then lay that flat on a piece of paper and scan it. Now I have a physical copy, and digital copy. I then use Adobe Illustrator(get Inkscape software for free online, it's basically the same thing). Once I have my design done, I print it out on my HP inkjet printer that uses #61 ink(the ink numbers are very important. #60, 61, and 65 are all proven to make great transfers) onto Pictorico Premium Overhead Transparency film. Then using a thin film of a mixture of pine rosin and alcohol transfer fluid on the metal(transfer fluid is sticky and pulls the ink off the transfer film), tape your transfer film to the part you want it on, and lightly burnish the back of the film. Peel it off, and start engraving. If you're not already a member, join the Facebook group called "Hand Engraving for All". Lots of tips and tricks there, and people to answer questions. There's also some folks there that will help you build a pneumatic or electric engraving system if you want one.

@@chuckburroughs6427 Hey Chuck, thank you very much for taking your time to explain this! The process is very interesting, I’ll have to look in to it. My main request to engrave is stainless steel cups, so other than this job I haven’t had much experience. A lot of people have asked about protecting the engraving once you’re finished with the piece. I was thinking maybe clear coat of some sort but that may take away the shine. I would love to get in to pneumatic engraving, it’s definitely on my radar, I just need more time and money.
@chuckburroughs6427 2 жыл бұрын
The finish on a Glock slide is basically a form of parkerizing. Many people think the "melonite" or "tennifer" is the finish. Melonite/tennifer is a heat treat process that makes the slides so hard and tough. I'd just use some type of cold bluing solution like Birchwood Casey that you can get at Walmart. After that's done, oil it up real good for a couple of hours to neutralize the bluing chemicals, then clean the oil out. If you really want to highlight the engraving, you could try a Bonanza Gold Fill kit. It's very easy to do. I think they also offer it in silver.
@TriadoCustomEngraving 2 жыл бұрын
@@chuckburroughs6427 Hey Chuck, thanks again for your reply. Wouldn’t cold bluing darken the engraving? Also what type of oil do you recommend using? I bought some Super Blue a while back to maybe do axe head engraving, it looked super dark in one of the videos that I watched here. Do you have a channel here? If you don’t you should definitely look in to starting one, I’m sure people would appreciate your talent. I’m just a dude who tries to engrave different things with what I have haha.
@chuckburroughs6427 2 жыл бұрын
Yep, the super blue will darken the engraving so it doesn't rust. Any gun oil will work to neutralize the bluing chemical. That's why I mentioned the Bonanza Gold fill kit to highlight the engraving. I don't really want a KZfaq channel. It doesn't pay enough for the time involved. If people want to learn real hand engraving, there are a lot of classes available.

Engraver here... As I get older, I've started to rely more on a fiber laser to do my outlines and layout. Even with a buzz box engraver I can get a little off sometimes. I can't imagine being that accurate and stable with a rotary. Not to mention, I use a 400,000 rpm rotary and my guess is yours is 80k or so. That makes a HUGE difference in the difficulty. I hope people can understand the level of skill and concentration it takes to do what you do. Very impressive work!!! Thank you for sharing.

I really love this comment. As someone with a ton of rotary engraving experience (currently doing custom barber clippers) I'm finally about to jump into guns and knives but I'm not gonna lie I'm a little nervous about the hate I know I'm gonna get from the traditional scroll/turntable guys as my style is alot different and I know the OG guys are gonna talk mad shit lol. I don't care tho, traditional has never been my style. The standard filagree stuff is beautiful but played out in my opinion and frankly it takes just as much if not more patience and skill to do letters, logos, etc with no turntable and no lasers. My setup is primitive. I am really looking forward to getting a real professional rotary machine at some point tho. Theres so many tho it's hard to know what's what. Anyway let me shutup and finish watching the video lol. I can tell from the thumbnail you did an amazing job and it's more in line with how I do it as opposed to most of the scroll style videos I see commonly. I call this style lowrider/freestyle and it's alot more about the skills than the tools when it comes to this style. I've made many masterpieces with literally a vinyl cutter and a $30 knockoff dremel so I can't wait to see what I'll do with a pro setup. But thank you for this comment, you just motivated TF outta me! Custom guns here I come!!

Really nice. I print or draw my designs on full sheet label paper and stick it onto the piece. I then engrave along the lines with my dremel through the paper. Once your lines are traced I just peel the paper off, clean the sticky off with mineral oil. Then do the depth work. Look at diamond grit bits, the results are smoother than carbide.

@@TriadoCustomEngraving I'm using Birchwood Casey brand. They have an entire kit you can pick up at a gun store. I would call ahead though and make sure they carry. Kit comes with "Blue and Rust Remover," The "Cleaner/Degreaser," and there "Perma-Blue" product. $20.00 and tax. Steel wool, directions, all the works. You can get everything separate and choose Perma or Super Blue. Theres a few good videos you can search up that dive into the differences between them, and how to properly handle and apply them. So far ive blued a handgun that wasn't blued at all, for a buddy of mine, a few of my hand tools, and soon here, my Ruger Lc9s. Excellent results for me, every time. Not familiar with any other brands, currently. Birchwood Casey is trusted and used by many. I'm think you'll really enjoy the results you can achieve with it. Really enjoy the dremel work!

My Foredom Micromotor is great because it doesn’t have the flex shaft and it’s not loud. There are no vibrations, which could be annoying while using the Dremel “giving you that springy feeling in your hand” although it cannot produce the torque that my Dremel 4000 can do, so I use both.

Nice! Yeah metal can be tough to deal with as well. Gun slide metal is pretty tough so you’ll have to use tungsten carbide to be able to engrave anything on it, otherwise you’ll be scratching it. Not all tungsten carbide burs are created equal so I would do some research. I used one bit that I bought online that since got discontinued lol.

Thanks Cole! It’s a good question which came up here a few times. Unfortunately this was my only piece that I engraved and it wasn’t mine. The owner said that he touched it up with some clear coat paint and called it good. Not sure how good it looks afterwards. Maybe an oil application can also be beneficial. If you apply blueing to the engraving it will turn it dark and you will not be able to see it. I’ll have to do more research and see what I can find.

@TriadoCustomEngraving 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Bam. First tool that I used was a Foredom Micromotor. I mostly use it for outlines because it’s a great precision tool, although not so good at taking out large amount of metal. I switched to Dremel 4000 because it’s more powerful. I use these tools side by side for almost every project that I do. If you only have the Dremel I would stick with that. My micromotor system cost me over $500, so it’s not a cheap tool to get, but I like it since it doesn’t vibrate or make as much noise as the Dremel.

Hi, how often do the diamond bit ball burs get used up / need to be discarded? I just started engraving and I’m still trying to gain knowledge
@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын
Hey Rishika, I used tungsten carbide burs for this project, but diamond bit can last a long time and also run out quickly, all depends on where you’re using it. Higher the speed of your rotary tool can also wear out the bit quicker, keep the bit wet throughout the engraving to keep it clean and also cool. Lastly, diamond bits are great for glass, painted surfaces, plastics and leather. It can be used on metal but they will only last short time before you have to swap it out. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

I am looking to try engraving on my vape (box mod), and watching similar styled videos. I only have a hefty dremel tool, and I now am realizing that engraving is more like a mix of sketching / drawing and sanding mixed together in an interesting way. Gotta grab some cheap engraving tool for these fine lines I guess, or else the tip will run all over the metal instead on the outlines... Nice video and great craftsmanship! I really appreciate that.
@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for watching. What type of Dremel do you have one of those hammer action ones with a needle point? It’s possible to engrave with those but it’s hard on your hand for sure. Rotary tool is the way to go, maybe upgrade to Dremel 3000 and use tungsten carbide burs on your vape. I’m guessing your vape is aluminum so it’s should be fairly easy to engrave.
@vapingnexus Жыл бұрын
@@TriadoCustomEngraving Thanks for the fast reply! I actually have a Cordless Parkside Dremel / rotary tool that's only 25000 rpm. It is a bit hefty, but has no hammer action. I probably need at least 50.000 rpm? It's actually stainless steel, I believe it's gonna be hard enough, but not impossible. Thanks for your advice!
@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын
@@vapingnexus I usually have mine set around 25-30,000 rpm so you should be good to go! Stainless can be a paint in the butt since it’s a lot tougher than aluminum so you would want to use tungsten carbide burs for sure. Good luck with your project!

after engraving, how do you prevent rust?, or it doesnt rust?
@TriadoCustomEngraving 7 ай бұрын
Yes you definitely need to prevent rust. You could do clear coat cerakote application to maintain that engraved look or you can use blueing but that would darken everything. I would do some research online to see what the best route and best result that you’re looking for.

Issues with rusting on the Glock slide?
@TriadoCustomEngraving 3 жыл бұрын
Great question. This gun slide was not mine, I had this done for a customer who later applied some oil to it to prevent rusting. The original plan was to cerakote the slide and have the engraving stand out in a different color but he chanced his mind when he saw it shine from engraving. My guess is that it would rust if you do not apply any type of protection to it afterwards.
