Hey Jared, thank you brother! I got my Pro-Cut stuff at “SEATTLE FINDINGS Jewelry Supplies and Tools”. This was a local place where I got it from. Maybe they have good shipping rates. Otherwise I heard Amazon has some but they are around $10 on there. Seattle Findings is selling theirs for $4.95, but I bet shipping will bring it up to $10 range, so if you have Amazon Prime it might be worth getting it there.

Hey Javier, thanks for watching my videos! The bur that I’m using in this video I purchased on Grainger.com and this is the info: WIDIA Carbide Bur: Ball, SD-40, Single Cut, 1/16 in Head, 1/8 in Shank. Not sure if they sell them where you are but if you can get your hands on a 1/16 head round tungsten carbide bur then you’ll be able to do the job.

@JESUSISLORD740 3 жыл бұрын

Curious...if it's 440 stainless, it's softer than heat treated high carbon steel, in which case it would be easier to engrave. I don't think engraving high carbon is as doable with a rotary tool.

@TriadoCustomEngraving 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Jeff, good question! I’m not really sure what type of steel it was. It was definitely hard to engrave and took about 5 passes per line to get it deep enough to my liking. This is my third knife engraving and I usually just do scales so this is definitely new to me and I want to learn more about it. And you’re right, it’s hard to do with a rotary tool, pneumatic engraver would be prefect for this.

@HennyyAqua 11 ай бұрын

Is it hard to do this on smaller knives like a switch knife?

@TriadoCustomEngraving 11 ай бұрын

Anything with a fine detail will definitely take longer and be a little more intricate, but it’s definitely doable if you use the right tool. I would suggest practicing on similar bare metal before you start engraving any knives, this way if you mess up it’s not a big deal.

@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын

@@raymercado3650 Very interesting Ray, I haven’t really messed too much with other materials other than metal so it will be hard to gauge what type of bur you would need. I would guess that a Diamond bur would work well on it, just by looking at some pictures of this material online. I would suggest maybe grabbing some scrap pieces and try different types of burs on it before you try to engrave anything on the box itself. Best of luck!

@@TriadoCustomEngraving Will do, Thanks. What are your favourite Burrs when you engrave Stainless? Sizes? Ray

@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын

@@raymercado3650 I primarily use Fox Germany tungsten carbide burs for my painted cups like the Yeti. Stainless steel by itself I used Dremel bur 9905 and it worked pretty good for stippling. The only thing about it is that it’s too thick for detail work so that’s where I used that grainger bur that I initially talked about. It’s a little smaller and it’s a tough tungsten carbide bur. Fox Germany burs are meant for jewelry work so I would not recommend it using it on stainless, unless you’re looking to just scratch the surface. I’m still learning as I go and try different burs out and see what I like best, and so far none of the burs that are cheap work the way you want them to work so if you see a price tag of $11 for one bur, that’s normal. You get what you pay for I guess.

are diamond dremel bits better than tungsten carbide bits?

@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын

All depends on what you’re trying to engrave. Tungsten carbide cannot engrave glass but diamond can. Stainless steel or metal will ware out the diamond bur in less than a minute, but tungsten carbide will get the job done.

What's the difference with using a pneumatic engraver vs hammer and chisel?

@TriadoCustomEngraving Жыл бұрын

I don’t own either of those tools so I cannot say. My guess would be pneumatic is much easier since it eliminates use of the hammer. Although it might be more expensive than the traditional hammer and chisel approach.

@anubisgod23 6 ай бұрын

do you go with the spin or against it? how much speed ?

@TriadoCustomEngraving 6 ай бұрын

Good question because it depends on what you’re trying to do. For outlines and detail work I would go with the spin. Filling in an area larger than a line I would go against to get a better cut. You get a deeper cut going against the spin but you do have a chance to slip or jump the bur while you’re doing it. You can add a few passes going with the spin to make it deeper, all depends on your comfort level with your tool and your bur.
