Sand Etching

We sand etch when we need to mark irregular surfaces, shapes or larger areas. This versatile medium lets us work with various stones, tiles, pavers and even some metals. We can also etch fine detail into glass and crystal. The finishes we produce can vary from fine detail surface-marking through to deeper more tactile finishes to suit our clients’ needs.

Found the engraver that could do my job

I couldn’t find an engraver here in Melbourne who would listen to my requirements for an engraved plate to suit my Cold War era Soviet fighter jet clock. The guys at The Engraving Crew showed great attention to detail, super fast service and above all, a brilliant engraving job. I’d deal with them again and highly recommend them.

Very impressive service

Very impressive service – ordered on the weekend from SA and arrived in regional NSW on Wednesday morning! Beautiful engraving! Couldn’t be happier – would highly recommend to use this company.

4th Axis engraving of dials

I received my scale rings back from you today in the post. Great job, they are better that I expected, and better that the original. I am glad that I did the google research and identified the Engraving Crew as able to to the work, and persisted with getting the job done right, after all my local engraving businesses saying they could not do the job, and a few problems with the local machine shop.
Thanks again, nice work !

Precision engraving of watch dials

I visited The Engraving Crew about a month ago with two watch dials I wanted engraved with a logo I had created as sentimental gifts. I had purchased all the watch pieces to put together as custom watches. The logos were teeny tiny and I was nervous that perhaps it wouldn’t be possible – the Engraving Crew achieved it with amazing precision! I was so happy with the end result and the care they took ensuring it went ahead flawlessly. Will happily use in the future, and the recipients of the watches were over the moon ?
