I had a few free hours today so I finally got to testing out a theory I had. I wanted to engrave the Denix lower behind the scope mount in the easiest way possible. Since my design skills are nil, I pulled a picture off Google image and did a bitmap trace. I used a $40 spring loaded diamond drag bit from eBay. Since this was a test run I kept the Z Axis at zero. Now that I know it works, I will adjust the sizing and positioning, sand the current engraving and give it another try. Although its far from perfect, It looks a lot better in person than the pictures, and I'm happy with how the first test came out. I will have to build a better jig, but it was pretty quick and easy to do.
