But if you want to make use of the new tool you just bought, you should take the whole program, which would also teach you about machine tooling, jigging, materials, and such. That should only cost a few thousand more, plus a couple years of your life.

Either that, or a $120 Dremel tool plus a $20 engraving head and a reeeeeeeeeeeally steady hand (nerves of steel wouldn't be bad, either). If you go this route, I hope you're an artist, because I've never seen anybody successfully write font using a Dremel tool, while maintaining the accuracy and precision of a computer. Chances are, you'll make it crooked. Or you'll slip. Or the tool bit will bite on the material, sending the tool running off, and marring your surface.

Or if you want to do it the REEEALLY ghetto way, pick up a carbon scribe for a few bucks, and etch the engravings in by hand. Again, if you can do this straight with accurate looking trademarks, you are honestly wasting your talent with airsoft. I spent 2 years in a tool shop, and I still can't scribe my name with precision, even when using a straight edge. This is with fairly large sized lettering, too. I wouldn't even want to imagine doing it on a pistol chamber in micro sized font.

Does that help you save money by doing it yourself?

ahahah ,that is key!
