Reducing Engravers

Make quick, precise marks of varying sizes. As you trace stencils with one end of the engraving arm, the other end engraves them into your surface. Also known as pantographs, these engravers create reduced and one-to-one character sizes to fit your workpiece. The rotating cutter spindle allows for detailed work and smooth lines.

Use the carbide tip to rout plastic so the core color is revealed.

Engraver comes with a brass letter and number stencil set that can be used to create 25 different character heights. Includes 0-9, A-Z, 30 spacers, and a punctuation set of &, period, comma, dash, apostrophe, quotation marks, colon, and semicolon.
