Plastic Body

Stainless Steel Body

Freehand permanent markings on a variety of materials. These engravers are often used to mark tools and equipment for easy identification and tracking. Adjust the stroke speed to control the depth of your marks. Low stroke speed creates shallow lines and is best for soft materials, such as plastic and wood. High stroke speed creates deep lines and is best for hard materials, such as metal.

Stainless Steel Body—More durable than plastic to stand up to wear over time. These engravers last longer and won’t get damaged in your toolbox.

Carbide—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.

Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.

Diamond Tip—The most durable tip material. Diamond tips are the best choice for marking extra-hard materials, such as ceramic, glass, and stone.

Etchers

Mark surfaces with handwritten messages, designs, or logos. Draw your message on a stencil sheet using a scriber or other sharp point, then place the stencil on your metal marking surface. To transfer the message, wet the pad on the etcher with etching solution and press it over the stencil, then touch the grounding wire to your marking surface to activate the solution. Marks are black. Use the included DC voltage adapter clip to make clear and frosted marks.

Bench-Top Laser Cutters

Make custom parts, quick prototypes, and intricate engravings with these cutters—they’re the most accurate cutters we offer. Small enough to fit on a desk, they won’t take up floor space in your facility. Connect them to your computer via Ethernet, USB, or Wi-Fi to create designs, manage settings, and start cutting jobs. These cutters include a camera that shows a live feed of the working area, so you can adjust your material’s position and monitor cuts.

An air compressor mounted next to the laser blows cool air as it cuts, clearing debris and keeping parts from charring. These cutters also have a cooling system that uses air or water to keep the laser tube from overheating. To remove dust and fumes, direct exhaust to a well-ventilated area or connect to an air filtration system. Not for use on metal or vinyl polymers, such as PVC, polycarbonate, or PTFE.

Light Duty

Light duty cutters are best for prototyping and one-off jobs, since they’re smaller and lighter in weight than heavy duty cutters. These cutters include a rotary attachment that turns material as it’s being cut, so you can shape or engrave tubing and other round objects. They also include an exhaust hose. They’re compatible with CADLaser, CorelLaser, LightBurn, and RDWorks software.

Glass Laser Tube—Their laser tube is glass, so it won’t last as long as the aluminum and ceramic tube in heavy duty cutters.

Cannot Be Sold To—Cutters that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to product regulations.

Heavy Duty

Heavy duty cutters are made in the U.S. with an all-metal construction that stands up to frequent use and long production runs. For the cleanest possible cuts, these cutters automatically raise or lower your material so it’s the correct distance from the laser head.

Use the touchscreen to access saved designs, move the laser, and adjust settings without connecting to your computer. With 1 GB of internal storage, you can save and repeat frequent jobs. You can also test a design before you cut by tracing the outline with a beam of light. These cutters can read files from any design software, including AutoCAD, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and they’re compatible with EpilogSuite.

These cutters have a 4” exhaust port rather than a hose—connect it to an air filtration system or an exhaust blower that’s rated at least 350 CFM.

Aluminum Laser Tube/Ceramic Laser Tube—The laser tube is a blend of aluminum and ceramic that lasts longer and makes finer cuts than glass tubes.

Air-Powered Engraver Kits

Use these kits for everything from permanently marking materials to cleaning and finishing surfaces. They come with all you need to get started, including an engraver, four types of tips, and a tip holder. The engraver is more powerful than an electric option, so you can make the same markings in fewer passes and with less effort. A continuous dial lets you adjust the stroke speed to control the depth of your marks. Low stroke speed creates shallow lines and is best for soft materials, such as wood and plastic. High stroke speed creates deep lines and is best for hard materials, such as metal. When swapping in another tip style, you must secure it in the engraver with the included tip holder. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.

Carbide Tip—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.

Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.

Angled-Chisel Tip—A great choice for cleaning weld beads.

Flat Tip—Grind these tips into a shape that works for your application.

Flat-Chisel Tip—Best for scaling and deburring.

Deep Marking Air-Powered Engravers

Our fastest, deepest-cutting handheld engravers create marks that stay crisp and clear, even with wear and tear over time. With 30,000 strokes per minute, they can also make deep markings on hard materials. However, you can’t adjust their high stroke speed, so they may be too fast for shallow marking and engraving legibly on soft materials. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.

Carbide Tip—Hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.
