Our Products

The 30 Magnesium Etching Machine
Bates Manufacturing, LLC offers several different styles of etching machines. The machines we manufacture are designed after the "Master" paddle etchers. We've taken their tried and true design, reengineer it to today's standards. Using today's modern materials we have taken etching machines to a new level.
