What Is an Engraving Pen?
An engraving pen is a specialized tool used for etching letters or designs onto hard surfaces.
This tool is ideal for creating designs on materials like metal or plastic. It operates by using a bit to carve into the material. Manual versions require the operator to rotate a handle, while electric versions use a motor to drive the bit.
Engraving pens are used in industrial applications for marking products and in the arts for detailed carvings. They are also popular for hobbyists who wish to personalize items such as watches or jewelry. The pen works by attaching a bit to the tip, applying it to the material, and then either manually turning the handle or activating the electric motor to engrave. Their capability to inscribe hard materials with various designs is a key feature. Effective use involves choosing the appropriate bit and applying the correct amount of force.
