MC Etcher: Carbide 3D's new Diamond Drag Engraver

what would be recommendation of machine and engraving-oritented software for engraving metal tags and keys ? I need fast turnaround, as this is in a client-facing operation. My key machines have a rudementary engraving capability, but it is not precise for positioning. I need a dedicated routing machine, that can do much more, but day-in and out, it will engrave keys.

What size could work for my cnc 3020 ??

Will it work on uneven surfaces, since is spring loaded?

Is the diamond tip replaceable?

Is there a metric version, or is it only sold within America

I own a lakeshore carbide engraver. What are your thoughts on diamond drag vs lakeshore engraving tool for high carbon steel? Most drag tool uses I see are for aluminum and some ppl complain about breakage or wearing depending on the product.

I purchased the set from you a month or so ago and wanted to give it a try today. I'm using V-Carve pro software. Just wondering what I should set the depth/pressure to when engraving glass? Right now, it's defaulted to 0.0 inches. Cheers! Trevor

I am gonna buy the 120° version.

Would your bits work with the snap maker 2?

Will these work on granite? I have both the 90 and 120

Are you going to offer replacement bits/springs????

اين يمكن أن تباع

Hi, are diamond spring engraving bits sold on aliexpress or bangood sites?

Is it work with 1/4 inch anodized Aluminum plates for engraving.

they're finally back in stock!!! :D

Bought these and love them. Thank you for supplying a superb tool!

interesting

Could you use this to make DIY printed circuit board as an alternative to milling?

At first I read “MC Escher” 🤪

shouldn't the diamond tip be conductive or is there something different with this diamond

i need those hold-down clamps!!!!

Hey its more easye use a láser engraver machines😋😜

Very nice product, unfortunately the shipping cost are 29 usd so makes it a bit more expensive.

Super cool. Well explained.

Do you ship to Slovenia Europe? on your website i cant find Slovenia on the list! Thank you

What tip size is it equivalent to? 0.2?

i wonder if i could use that with my 3D printer to engrave stuff (with not too high pressure)... :o

That's nice! Curious though...did you try it with the spindle on, Winston?! You know you want to if you didn't.

Is this some kind of er16 adapter in the router?

Will This work to etch acrylic?

Would the MC etcher allow you to cut stencils or vinyl? If not, is an attachment like that in the works? Could negate the need for some makers to buy a cricut maker.

How much price the spring loaded drag tools and holder.

Do I really have to edit the gcode? Can't I add the tools with zero spindle speed in the design software? (aspire)

The same g-code editing for the Nomad could also apply to the Shapeoko if you're using the BitRunner or a DIY alternative. Will C3D patch Carbide Motion to automatically ignore these commands if you're using a drag engraving bit (assuming it's a predefined tool, like the ones already supported in CM such as the 102, etc.)?

That's great

I was looking for these exact products! Ordered right away. Nice that you're filling this necessary niche.

In before Carbide is sued by the M.C. Escher Foundation

Come on Winston, glass is machinable. The trick is a water pool and a diamond coated bit. Give it a try !

Would this work to score stained glass?

Drag engravers are great on anodized aluminum plates. The lettering really pops!

Just ordered a set. Has anyone tried it with Frisket Film or Transfer Tape for Vinyl?

How would you use this with Create?

Love the name

New rule: all Carbide 3D product names must now be puns.

I would love some ⅛ inch offerings for use with the Snapmaker.

Is this tool suitable for PCB isolation routing ?
