- If you do metal engraving, get a cutter sharpener.
- I only use outdoor material, so I stock only the expensive material. Double stock is a killer.
- Plastic engraving is very profitable.
- Custom engraving is not for the faint of heart.
- Have a full array of cutter tip sizes.
- Set up standards for standard sizes; for example, 1-by-3-inch tags, name badges, plaques, etc.
- Save your work and print out job copies.
- If you’re busy enough, have more than one engraver and schedule things you can do while the machine engraves. One person can run four to five engravers or other machines.
