I have a upcoming simple job carving numbers on to some brass tags. About 150 of them. Anyone have suggestions on the best bits to use for carving, engraving onto brass? Thanks
I would build a vacuum jig and use a McEtcher.

And a simple thing you can do to really make engravings pop is touch them with some brass black then give them a quick run over very fine abrasive.
I’ve used this personally and can say a little goes a very long way Birchwood Casey Brass Black
You can find loads of examples and tutorials with a quick google search.
Regardless of if you end up blacking them, I’ll be interested in the results
