Laser or CNC Engraving Around Knoxville/East TN?

[gjohnsoniv]

I'm looking for someone to engrave or mill a logo onto a project of mine.  Any leads would be appreciated.

I don't no for fact, but I heard TAC (formerly Coal Creek Armory) may be laser etching. Maybe worth a call.

T.A.C. (coal creek) does the laser engravings as well as there's a guy at the flea market off the 407 exit that does it had him do some on a knife I forged that turned out fairly well -Dusty-

Thank you very much, I'll give them a call.

Called T.A.C and they do a laser engraving but it's not really what I'm needing.  They can remove the coating to engrave but say it doesn't really engrave the metal (much).  What I'm really looking for is more someone who could engrave basically a roll stamp depth design.

He had a CNC machine and told me he could do NFA requirements. I don't know about designs and such.

If you want it milled, mikes got the stuff to do it.

Well, you could go to a local Tennessee College of Applied Technology. At least for the Athens school, at which I'm a student, their machine tool technology course will do outside projects for free. There's a big TCAT in Knoxville. Ya might try that, although keep in mind - the fact you aren't paying means something may happen, so if it's valuable material or a one-shot projects... eh...

Just curios, what are we engraving on?

[gjohnsoniv]

6061 T6 Aluminum, rifle chassis.

What about electro etching. All the materials are easy to find and CHEAP. The hardest part is finding a laser printer to make the stencil.

That is how I am probably going to engrave all my NFA stuff.

StaticUSMC knows of a company in Maryville that does great work for cheap.

[gjohnsoniv]

I want it to be a little deeper than electro etching. If I can't find someone that can do that I might give it a shot though.

You can go as deep as you want. Depends on how long you apply current.
