    Do you have an image on file for the Join or Die icon? I think it'd be a great choice to Americanize my M85...

    Big shout out to Nate and the team at Engage. Nice meeting you all!

    Had two SBRs that needed engraving. I was in and out in 20 mins! Looks great.

    Awesome shop and a great selection. Worth the trip, even with Friday traffic.

    Big Thanks To Nate and the Engage Family. Just got 5 knives engraved for my wedding and a lower for myself.

    Took about an hour for 5 knives and the lower. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. PLUS seeing that laser work, was pretty trick!

    In a single pass on aluminum, though I typically take it a bit deeper. It'll cut through the side of a mag well on an AR lower w/ enough passes.

    Hey Nate, based on yer bulldog pic earlier in this thread - can you potentially do checkering with this engraver? If so, what are the limitations? Metal only? Polymer? Wood?

    TIA,

    Metal is easiest. Polymer is doable typically, but takes a little messing with. Wood is hit or miss, typically on the miss side, and has to be a hard wood.

    No. I brought in my 300 Blk that Nate checked the suppressor alignment on my Phantom 762 LTA. :thumbsup:

    I was standing right there! Nice, I was wearing the Engage hat with black jacket and khaki pants. We need shirts with our screen names embroidered on them, for gun shop visits and other shooting events!!:D

    This is exactly why I'm sure a lot of folks have actually met me and don't remember/know it. :D

    Nate, I just talked to you on the phone about engraving a lower for me, and an ACS-L stock. Thanks for the help, and I'll see you on Tuesday!

    Now I just need to finalize the graphic...

    Late to the party but what about Zippo lighters? Need to engrave a medium quantity. Plenty of engraving places around but I'd rather support a 2a friendly business!

    It's been said before, but this machine is SO cool. I want one to play with.

    Nate was awesome today when I came in to get some engraving done for an SBR lower. I brought the image file, he did some quick setup, and then five minutes later it was done.

    Nate, thanks a ton for your help today. I'll be back for sure.

    Here's what it looks like:

    I flipped the snake around from the Gadsden flag, because I want those fangs pointed at the other guy, not at me! :P
    The name of my NFA trust is engraved above the image (but I blanked part of it for this...) and Nate was kind enough to hit it with some Aluma-Black so it blends in just about perfectly with the rest of the receiver.

    In all seriousness, if anyone wants the image file that I provided to Nate for this, let me know.

    I repeat - this machine is SO cool, and everyone should go see it work.
