Instead of blank stares, our custom-size blanks evoke smiles for their simplicity and productivity. A dozen popular "safety" colors in 1/16"-thick material keep it simple, while the ready-to-engrave blanks also help you stay productive. Clients love that we manufacture our own tough, weather-resistant engraving plastics in sheets, half-sheets and even 6" x 8", coordinated to the engraver's bed, ready for custom lettering including ​your logo.

Providing blanks is our job – which makes your job of engraving them more efficient. Scott Machine is a one-stop shop for all of your signage supplies! Request free samples

And how’s this for balancing ​your budget?
Various blank legend plates: ​about $1.00

Advanced software that handles every job makes this a coordinated effort from start to finish. Our free template library matches the common sizes of engravable blanks and properly aligns them and their layouts with the machine bed. This ensures professional labels that identify your valves and equipment panels with clear, legible lettering ​every time.

Though we're always there to help in person, we’ve written a concise quick-start guide that should have you engraving your first job within an hour of opening the box. And we have ample training ​videos too.

Nothing to get “uptight” about here…just simply press your blank plastic panel into the lower left of the worktable frame. The gray tack-mat surface instantly grips and never slips. No need to turn another clamp or vise, no need to waste ​another second.

There's a convenient vacuum shroud around the cutter that draws away plastic chips while engraving. Just connect the hose to your shop vacuum system or to our optional vacuum for a clean sweep ​between jobs.

Clearly, the Scott AutoGraver-20® can save you a few seconds for each engraved panel, several panels every day, five days every week. And those seconds soon ​become hours!

The AutoGraver-20® includes a vacuum shroud that surrounds the cutter to draw away plastic chips created while engraving. Just connect the hose to the optional vacuum-blower shown on the left side of ​this photo.

From time to time, merely empty the chips from the white collection bucket and replace the ​paper filter.

Avoid noisy shop vacs; tuck this quiet unit under your bench for greater noise suppression. The wood base further absorbs the sound and helps negate vibration. Simply toggle the blower on and off with the ​foot switch.

#SAGVAC Vacuum ​system: $945.00

Ready to go, right out of the box, AutoGraver-20® needs no options for engraving. The machine's specs appear at the bottom of the page. Here are the details of the installed ​engraving accessories:

Engraving tools: 1/8" collet with ​set screw
▫ Ultra-sharp 1/8" shank, 1/32" tip, long-life ​carbide cutter
▫ Collet wrenches and set ​screw wrench

Worksurface: Pocketed frame for quick alignment of blank at (0,0) ​corner coordinates
▫ Tack-mat with approximately ​30 sheets
▫ Standoff hex spacers & button ​head screws

Chip removal: Integrated vacuum shroud and ​short hose

The gray pad of multiple sheets of tacky film (shown here) has not reliably held all the items that our clients engrave. We have a completely new GripNGraver™ tacky mat. This mat is firmer, grips more reliably, and flatter, thereby ensuring engraving at a consistent depth across ​the bed.

The integrated vacuum has been removed; the shroud around the spindle impeded cutter changes and obscured the operator's view of ​the engraving.

In late August we'll provide a GripNGraver mat at a reduced cost to all clients who have a problem using the ​current bed.

Ready to do fine, detailed lettering? Use our quality scribe, a spring-loaded diamond tipped tool. Unlike an engraver cutter, it doesn't rotate. Instead, it rides on the surface and creates a deep scratch, or "scribe line", in soft metals like aluminum serial number plates and brass ​valve tags.

Let us prepare aluminum serial plates with your logo and custom layouts. You use the versatile scribe to create fine, single-line letters directly on the aluminum, or scribe through the printed black zones for high-contrast lettering. Interested? Request a sample.

The scribe tool has a 1/4" diameter shaft and requires a mating 1/4" collet. These two items are offered separately from the ​AutoGraver package.
