In the past, the only equipment required for an awards business to be successful was a rotary engraver. Even today, a shop could survive—though perhaps not thrive—with rotary engraving as its only form of personalization. However, in recent years a surprising number of shops get by without one. But it seems that no matter how well a shop does without them, it’s not doing as well it could with them. To explain the value of rotary engraving and the questions every shop should answer before buying one, a few of the industry’s top suppliers stepped in to help.

Small-scale CNC routers have attracted some attention lately but there’s another toy that has an even bigger following amongst woodworkers and other makers. Laser engravers are not cheap, but offer a huge range of new possibilities and hours of enjoyment. A bandsaw may be a machine you need, but a laser engraver is a machine you want. I was fortunate enough to have one delivered for a Wood Review trial and I can tell you – it’s a heck of a lot of fun.
