Jewelry Dremel
Can I engrave a metal washer with dremel tool to make jewelry?
I have seen all the metal stamped washer jewelry and love it. I am wondering if i can get the same look by using a handheld dremel tool? I have one already and am wondering if anyone else has tried it. Any suggestions? I just think I could do more designs and it would be cheaper than ordering a new metal stamp each time I want a different font or picture. Any helpful comments would be great!!
Thanks!
Hi jwright7981,
You may want to consider using a laser engraving company for this. We have engraved washers for commercial use and it is relatively inexpensive, much cheaper than a different metal stamp for each design. By having them laser engraved, once the pattern is setup repeat orders are fast and designs can be changed anytime where you’re stuck with a metal stamp.
A dremel would work to carve metal, but would take a long time and no two pieces would be exactly alike. Since you indicated getting a stamp I assume you want to make patterned pieces in quantity, so a dremel would not work well for this.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Regards,
