This project customizes a powder-coated metal tool box with a precise laser engraving. By engraving through the coating, the underlying metal becomes visible, creating a strong contrast and a clean, durable design. Perfect for labeling, personalization, or adding logos, this method transforms a simple tool box into a unique and professional-looking item.

Unscrew or remove the part you want to engrave so it can be positioned flat and worked on more easily.

Take the base plate out of the F2 laser to allow engraving directly on the lower working surface.

Place the metal tool box onto the laser bed and align it properly.

Set the correct focus distance on the surface of the powder coating.

Start the engraving process to remove the coating and reveal the metal beneath.
