Hi Mark,
Welcome to the Forum.
You can visit ;
http://www.airgraver.com/Hand_Engraving_Tools_Overview.htm
And choose and make your own kit.Steve's tools are not available in the uk but you have to purchase them from Steve L direct.
Other brands are available.But tells us more on the type of engraving you wish to do or are already doing then I could give you more appropriate advise ?

Hi Mark,
In that case my advise is first learn the basics of hand engraving by reading up from books till you are able to engrave a few simple eg.letters or designs,ie The Art of Hand Engraving .
You could see some videos here;
http://www.engravingschool.com/private/videos.htm
There is even more here :

Look it up time permitting and the different ways ;

Then move up to air assisted gravers ,

The ideal airgraver for motor bikes would be the "Nitro G20.

All the Best
