Services
Antares Instruments, Inc. was founded in 1962 originally as a reseller of engraving equipment and accessories and a manufacturer of engraving tools and master copy type. Antares was purchased in 1980 by D. S. Donaldson, Inc., an engraving company, owned by David S. Donaldson. The two companies were later merged and continued operations as Antares, Inc.
For almost half a century, Antares has been dedicated to producing quality cutting tools specifically for the engraving and sign industries. We manufacture a large selection of standard tools and specialty cutters, in a wide variety of sizes, for the most popular manual and computer operated machines.
Our most frequently used tool for engraving plastics and metals. Antares cutters are made from Micrograin carbide with our exclusive MicroEdge finish to produce cleaner cuts and stay sharper longer. Standard cutting tools produce a cut with a 30° side angle for plastics and a 40° side angle for metals.
Diamond Gravers Non-rotating tools intended for scratch engraving of trophy brass and aluminum. Special 90° diamonds for marking epoxy coated pens are available. Antares also offers special angles and/or shapes as well as chisel point rotating diamonds. Please call us for additional details. See our Burnishing Fact Sheet for information on Diamond Drag and Surface marking techniques.
The Replaceable Tip RouterMills consist of a steel shank and a replaceable micrograin carbide insert. Thus it has the same cutting characteristics as our standard RouterMills, but with a reduced cost. When an insert wears or breaks, it can be replaced. These tools are ideal for cutting out shapes and should be used instead of a Parallel Cutter.
