Cost effective engraving
(OP)
I'm looking for the most cost effective manner to engrave hardened 416 stainless 0.010" deep for two numbers ranging from 0.030" tall by 0.006" deep to 0.100" tall by 0.020" deep. Two numbers are at two precise locations engraved on a flat object. Same thing every time. Seven different set-ups(sizes) overall. Looking to plug and go whenever necessary. Fixturing I can envision. Looking for specific suggestions on the best equipment. Thanks.

Stamping is the easiest way, but you'd have to do it before hardening. Etching is also an option, but you probably wouldn't get the .006" depth.
