Pantagraph Engraver, $625, Cavan, ON

So tempting. So far. So doesn't ring every bell.

Does that grinder actually qualify as a tool and cutter grinder?

Engraving tools are fairly simple d-bits, no serious geometry, so it certainly qualifies. Too bad this deal is 4000 km away.

Ah yes, I should have known the grinder was only for the pantograph bits! Dummy me!
 
I will say that these things are fun. I just spent a couple of hours in the shop, making a jig to hold stainless steel or aluminum business cards, so I can engrave them. My pantograph machine is nowhere as robust as this one, but I just successfullly engraved 0.006” deep letters into 304 stainless blanks. Deep enough to fill with black nail polish for nice high contrast. Want someone to remember you? Hand them a stainless steel business card.

Agreed. I still have half a dozen MEMORABLE business cards from my previous life. Some just stand out, others are metallic or plastic. A stainless milled card would be a prize for sure!
