Source for cut engravers brass

[Scott Shepherd]

I have a customer asked for a rotary engraved brass plate (several of them). I haven't bought any thicker brass to engrave, so I'm drawing a blank on sourcing it.

Something like 1/8". I think the size was 18" x 5" on all of them.

Anyone know a source for this material?

Lots of sources.... Alaskan brass is one of them, Copper & Brass Sales, Inc. is another. Call sheet metal suppliers, they will be able to tell you where to go. The stuff is really expensive, though. New Hermes used to sell .050 lacquered brass.

Steve,

I know of a customer out here on the west coast who carries the leaded brass 1/8 thick.

Panterials 1-818-700-1333 you can ask for Mark and he may know of some ware closer to you that will have that material.

the Ikonmetal ( brass ) can be laser engraved and will polish perfectly and
has a great outdoor life.
If you wish to see a photo I can provide one.
I have a few pieces finished

Johnson Plastics sells .040 thick brass in custom sizes. Ordered some from them today in fact.

McMaster Carr has a web site and their #8948K44 is 1/8" thick x 12" x 24" engraver brass

I'm looking for someone who can engrave a piece of brass. I'm specifically looking for :

1/8" thick, 1" x 3" with 3 lines of text. It needs to be highly polished and the lettering filled with black paint. 1 piece.

Anyone out there who's interested in doing this? I don't have the right cutter for my rotary engraver and I use it so little, I'd prefer not to buy the cutter to do a 1 piece job.

Has to be engraved and color filled as per customer's request.
