Core Principle

Both methods create text or logos, but use different tools and achieve different results.

Engraving

• Tool: Sharp, pointed tool scratches surface
• Characteristics: Fast, low-cost, very shallow with fine lines
• Best for: Serial numbers, logos, informational marks

Milling Text

• Tool: Small end mill cuts text characters
• Characteristics: Controllable depth, bold/clear lines, time-consuming
• Best for: Deep marks for paint-filling, harsh environment legibility

Selection Guide:
• Choose engraving for cost-effective informational marks
• Choose milling for deep marks requiring paint-fill or harsh environment durability
