Dremel 290-01 Electric Engraver

I purchased this for engraving my info on my suppressor, since the ATF requires it. I went to my local printing shop and had some labels made with all the needed information and used them for stencils for the engraving. After a couple test tries, I did the actual one and it turned out great. The engraver worked as needed on half speed and did best on the hard aluminum using the steel tip that came with it. Great little tool and will use it for other projects.

Works Perfectly! Thanks zoro! #SWEEPSTAKES [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This engraver is easy to use, and works well. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

For the last thirteen years I have engraved the dates of the Oregon rain inside on recycled light bulbs before they go into our gallery as Oregon Du Drops. I use the Dremel engraving tool (290-01) with a diamond-tip engraver (9929). It writes clearly, neatly, and rarely goes through the very thin glass of the light bulb. The only trouble I have ever had with it is a bit of difficulty loosening the tip when it gets dull. I wouldn't use any other engraver for this delicate job.

I got this tool today and just started using it and so far love it! My only question is, it is a little loud...is that normal or did I not put the set screw back in correctly?

Thank you Dremel!! Great product, great quality and great value. the ONLY problem I have is, that I don't know which Dremel product to purchase next. Keep up the great work Dremel!!!

I have an old WEN engraver that's still in use. Bought this one because I could get the diamond tip accessory to use on stainless steel. Both the carbide tip it came with and the diamond tip I bought work well with this Dremel. Can't complain about the noise (unless you expect to violate the laws of physics). The tips did not come loose as others experienced. I don't love the grip but it just takes getting used to as compared to the skinnier WEN body. Cord is somewhat stiff and makes engraving a bit more challenging but it should make it less likely to experience wear and shorting out down the road.

I can't really comment on the use of this product since I ordered it and have not used it yet, just was super aggravated that it came with no bits and the web site does not tell you that you have to order the bits separetly.... Arrrrrrgh... Ordering them now

Works great, but I tend to need it on the go where I have no power outlet. A cordless variant would be awesome!
