Engraving Pen


There is all kinds of engraving equipment on the market from the simple engraving pen to the more complex laser engraving equipment. The type of equipment you choose will depend on your budget and what type of engraving you are going to be doing.

Take for example the Chicago Pneumatic 710 which is a lightweight pen that is really easy to use. The fine point stylus is perfect for that tiny engraving that requires additional preciseness. The cushioned finger grip provides a great deal of comfort while you are using the pen and the air consumption is minimal.

There are plenty of pens which are high speed enough to engrave plastic, wood, metal, or glass with detailed engraving. The lightweight of these pens gives you much better control then some of the older hand held units. In fact this type of pen has become very popular with those that are engraving glass.

As with any new tool we try getting the hang of the pen takes a bit of practice. Practice makes perfect so time to get busy. Start with glassware. Find some old glasses and go crazy. Then try metal and other materials that you might be working with. It won't take long at all for you to get the hang of it.

Laser engraving may be taking the world by storm but hand engraving isn't a dying art yet and using an engraving pen is the best way to keep that time honored tradition alive.
