Dremel 120-Volt Engraver Rotary Tool with Stencils – Crafting Machine Perfect for DIY Personalizing and Engraving Leather, Metal, Glass, and Wood , Black, 290-02

Good product, it is what it is
Works as intended, I use it for engraving hand tools. I purchased separately the diamond point dremel engraving bit. Cuts better than the one included with this engraver (see my review).Lighter than dremel rotary tools, and smaller, though the plastic seems to be of the same or similar quality.Stroke per minute dial works as described, engraving depth can also be adjusted by the pressure you apply with the tool, the bit (like the diamond bit), and how many passes you do. Engraving small initials is easy, making decorative glass would be more challenging and would require more skill, but this is not what I use it for. After a few tests on some scrap to get the feel of it, I was ready to go. I was pleased with the results from the tool, but my handwriting, not so much. Tool worked well.Included stencil works if the tool is help perfectly vertical to the engraving surface. Though the way the letters are stenciled, there are large gaps due to the thickness and design of the stencil. For example a letter B looks more like 13. Sometimes I used the stencil and then filled in the gaps by hand.It’s very similar to writing with a large, vibrating, noisy pencil. If you have a steady hand you could easily write someone a letter on a piece of sheet metal.It is rather noisy, especially on the higher settings, lots of buzzing and rattling but doesn’t retract from the functionality. This isn’t the sort of thing that requires stealth anyway.I had no problems with the set screw when changing bits. I was prepared with a small flat bladed pocket type screwdriver and know how not to strip a screw. Snug it up and you’re done. If the bit comes loose (which mine hasn’t) snug it down a little more. If you start perspiring, grunting, or shaking violently while tightening it down, ease up. It’s a set screw, not the lug nuts on your spare tire.Good price, Dremel is a name brand, and bits can be purchased at most hardware stores. I was unable to find the diamond bits at my local hardware stores so I just orded it with the engraver from Amazon.Good tool

Love it
I got this to sign glass work…It does great !

Basic starter engraving tool
My dad was cleaning out and selling his house after my mother’s death. I found a set of ice tea spoons from the very first set of silverware my mother collected from Betty Crocker coupons in 1954. My husband used this tool to put the dates my mom was a homemaker and I passed them out to family. A little reminder of my mother. Professionally done?…. by no means. But appreciated and sweet memorial…YesMy husband practiced a few times using the templates. This was probably about 20% of the cost of having so many spoons engraved professionally

Terrible tool, do not buy
You’re going to want to buy this because it’s 1) 25 or so dollars and 2) it’s a Dremel.Please reconsider. This is just a bad product.Here are some reasons:1) This is NOT a rotary tool. The engraving bit does NOT spin. It vibrates. The vibrating element is housed in the rear of the unit. If you’ve ever pulled a heavy trailer with a small truck, then you know that it’s a bad idea to have something heavy, swinging back and forth at the opposite end of the thing you’re trying to control.The point? Good luck drawing/cutting a straight line with this thing. Curves are a fantasy. It’s hard as hell to hold, all the weight is in the back of the unit and it is constantly shaking. Whoever designed this does not actually engrave things.2) This is the LOUDEST, smallest tool I (unfortunately) own. Imagine a dentist’s drill, drilling into sheet-metal, inside an echo chamber and you’re halfway there. I am not sure why the Dremel company thought that this product was ready to go without a surgeon general’s warning about the threat to human hearing. Please do not use this without serious ear protection.3) No power. For as loud as this thing is. It sure isn’t powerful. Press it as much as you want. Nothing will be engraved, but you will lose feeling in your hand from the vibration.4) It feels cheep. It is cheap and it feels cheap. This feels like the first version of a college engineering students freshman build project. Or something a friend fabricated with a 3D printer and off the shelf parts. I’ve seen prison tattoo guns that look more sophisticated than this piece of junk. Really disappointed in Dremel.5) This is not a quality product. This is a cash grab. This is Dremel doing some fast market research and realizing that it could invest $15 into an terrible engraver and see a $10 profit on the sale of each unit. I really like Dremel. I used to own one of their rotary machines until it crapped out after about 10 years. The difference is…I paid good money for that one. I relied on the Dremel name and got burned.This is a piece of junk.Save your $25.
