Are you looking to buy a machine to do it? (very expensive) Or looking for somebody with a machine to hire to engrave a limited number of them?

Asghar, We have a Universal 40W laser, and it does very well on both granite and marble. But the table is 12x24", so that won't support the size you are wanting to do. I recall seeing a couple of posts on one of the boards--Engraving, Etc., World of Engraving--from people who are lasering granite grave markers. Maybe a little more research is in your future.

Good hunting!

Nancy

Thank you all.
Another way to engrave granite is with a sandblaster. Go to SCM.com for information about their blaster. The reading is interesting and the video has lots of good information.

scm.com doesn't provide any information about sandblaster. Could you please post the appropriate site?

Thanks,
