a zippo and a dremel
    #7640647 - 11/15/07 04:40 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I want to engrave something on my zippo, possibly my initials or something. I have a dremel but I have no experience engraving. So where do I start? any suggestions?

Take it to a store where they engrave things. Your probably gonna end up scratching and scuffing it everywhere. If your gonna do it yourself.... Id suggest practicing a few times on a peice of scrap metal. Good luck

its a rotational tool...so one direction it will resist you....one direction it will take off all on its own...like a rotozip. if youre going to freehand it instead of using a template i would practice on a scrap piece of metal until i got comfy with it.

i agree with her0. also, a dremel isn't the right tool for the job. an engraving pen is... unless you meant you have an engraving pen made by the dremel company.

dremels spin. engravers vibrate or bounce.

I dont mind if it gets scratched... But a dremel doesnt sound like a good idea for the job?

Yeah all I picture if using a dremel would be what that other dude said.. either it'd have resistance or just take off in a direction.

Since the dremel head is rotating so fast you're gonna need to put the zippo in a vice or it will just shoot off the table. Just thought of that.
