Overview
A 120V corded engraving tool (model 290-02) with a 7,200 stroke-per-minute motor and five depth settings, sold with a carbide point and a letter and number stencil for personalizing metal, wood, glass and other hard surfaces.
The five-position depth dial is what separates a fine decorative line from a deeper engraved groove, so the same tool covers light personalization and heavier marking work. A diamond point for the hardest surfaces is sold separately and not included in this kit.
- 7,200 strokes per minute motor
- 5 adjustable depth settings
- Includes carbide point and letter/number stencil
- 2 year tool warranty
Who it's for
Suits hobbyists and light DIY users engraving tools, glassware, wood or metal for personalization or decoration. Heavy-duty stone or hardened steel work will need the optional diamond point, which isn't in the box.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Five depth settings cover fine lines through deep grooves
- Works across wood, metal, glass, ceramic and plastic
- Soft grip body reduces hand fatigue during use
- Backed by a 2 year tool warranty
- Diamond point for the hardest materials sold separately
- Corded design limits reach compared with cordless tools
Performance notes
The motor drives the carbide point at up to 7,200 strokes per minute, and the five-position dial adjusts how deep each stroke cuts, from fine decorative lines to deeper grooves. The soft-grip pen-style body is built to stay comfortable through longer engraving sessions.
