Engraving Bits

[cabindoors]

Can anyone help me in finding a source for flat bottomed tapered engraving bits?

I need to engrave some 1/16" thick 2 colored laminated sign plastic.

Thanks

Thanks Brady for your response.

However, the engraving bits I shown have 5 deg bevels on the tips. Arn't there rotary engraving bits with flat bottom tips?

I bought some from Onsrud a couple of years ago. I believe they were 30 deg with a .05" flat and they had others to choose from.

You can contact Fred at http://www.centuriontools.com/, he can fix you up also.

Scott is correct Onsrud has a 7 piece engraving set sized .005 thr to .090 in a 30° (#37-39) or in a 60° set (37-19) or you can purchase the individual sized engraving tool that you need.

I have an engraving machine and purchase my engraving cutters from here. www.artisan-es.com (http://www.artisan-es.com) You may have to download their catalog to see all they offer. They are solid carbide.
