Rotary Engraving

Rotary engraving is the engraving method of rotating a cutting tool in a motorized spindle that moved through a substrate to create a groove at a specific depth and in the same geometry and width as the cutter tip.

Rotary engraving involves physically removing material with a drill. The drill has a motorized spinning handle that can engrave through the surface of almost any material.

Rotary engraving can be used to engrave items in a wide range of different materials including a variety of plastics, acrylic, glass, wood, ceramic, stone, and solid surface material.

The benefits of a rotary engraving jobs are that the marks won’t fade. It works on virtually any materials, and it can require only a single manufacturing operation.

Rotary engraving is a machining process that consists of “hollowing out” the materials using a drill. The material is removed by cutting tools “engraving drills” of different shapes and sizes. This process is used to engrave characters, symbols, or shapes.
