Keep Calm...harmless laser etching :)

[Lonest4r]

I have a pistol slide that I would like laser engraved with my late brother's rank and name. How much would you charge? I know I could probably find services closer, but I figure I could throw some business your way in the process.

Alas, "etching" is not "engraving." I would need a more powerful laser (LOT more power) or a CNC etching setup to engrave steel. Aluminum lowers work nicely because it removes the anodization plus a fraction of the aluminum. I'm definitely investigating CNC engraving, but I don't have the setup to do that right now.
