Engraving Cutters and Toolbits of Solid Carbide
2L designs and manufactures our solid carbide engraving tools in our facility in
Hudson, Massachusetts.
This selection of toolbits will familiarize you with our most popular cutters and assist in determining which tool you prefer for the material being engraved.
The most commonly used engraving tool used to engrave the widest variety of materials.
For use on Steels, harder Aluminum, Stainless, Metals, and more.
This Softer Material Engraver Style of the Standard Conical Tool is designed specifically for soft and gummy materials such as soft Plastics, Aluminum and Brass.
Its' keener cutting edge reduces the chance of burrs on softer materials.
Durable engraving tool designed to engrave hard materials such as Stainless Steel, Steels, Hardened Steel and other difficult to engrave materials. Its' unique, patent-pending design maximizes the tip strength of the tool.
Engrave Stainless Steel, Metals, Tool Steel, Gun Steel, Inconel, Hasteloy and Hardened Steels.
The Tough Tip Tool for Aluminum is designed with a sharper cutting edge to provide a cleaner cut with fewer burrs
Engrave and mark softer materials such as Aluminum, Brass, Plastic and other gummy materials.
Radius tip engraving toolbit that produces a cut with a rounded bottom for use on Aluminum,
Acrylic, Steels, Stainless and more. This tool is excellent for reverse 3D engraving.
Testing has shown the Conical Ballnose tool can withstand higher cutting forces than standard Ballnose Endmills or tapered Ballnose Endmills.
Multi-purpose tool for chamfering, engraving, spot drilling and countersinking of Hard Steels, Plastics, Aluminum, and Metals.
Reduce tool changes by using a single tool for several operations: engrave, chamfer, countersink and spot drill.
This tool is similar to the Standard Conical Tool but with a smaller included angle for producing narrower cuts.
Engrave letters or lines that run very close together and cut out shapes from solid sheets on Aluminum, Plastic, Brass and more.
Micro-size tools designed with Micro-small tip widths and included angles.
Mark Plastic and Aluminum when requiring extremely small tools and for letters that run very close together.
Carbide Point Scribing Tools produce a very fine line on practically any material. Rotate in a machine spindle, or hold stationary for drag engraving.
Can produce very small engraved letters (0.030" tall) with a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool on Steel and Aluminum.
Use for drag and rotary engraving for many different applications and materials.
The Diamond Tip engraving tool produces a very fine and shallow marked line or letter on Glass, Stainless, Steels, Aluminum, Brass, Ceramic, Granite and more.
Multi-faceted Pyramid shaped toolbit for Creating 2D Data Matrix, UID (Unique
Identification Marks) Barcodes and Human Readable Text.
This tool can be used for cutting through difficult to engrave plating and works well cutting through plating or painted parts that are prone to chipping.
This faceted tip style tool makes shallow cuts and rubs or burnishes the surface of the workpiece.
It is extremely effective when removing plating or coating to expose the metal underneath coatings.
Solid carbide engraving cutter with a 0.060" diameter parallel cutting edge.
Used for cutting through materials. The side angle simultaneously produces a 45° bevel or chamfer on the edge of the material.
Cutter designed with straight edges as opposed to the standard "V" shaped cut.
The standard cutter depth is 3X the diameter up to a maximum depth of 1/2".
Straight edge cutter with an included full radius on the end produces a cut with straight walls and a rounded bottom.
Extremely effective for reverse engraving acrylic and 3D engraving applications.
Cutter with 3 cutting edges in the shape of a pyramid.
This cutter is often used for 3D profiling or for engraving epoxy coated pens.
Similar in design to the Standard Conical tool but has an additional split perpendicular to the first split.
The split can create greater chip clearance which makes it effective for gummier materials.
Solid Carbide Split Blanks.
Available in tool diameter sizes of 1/8", 11/64", 3/16 and 1/4".
