Diamond drag bits

[Dean jeffery]

I only really make them coloured for sales pictures mate

But depends what parts will determine life it’s rc related parts gas rc, so the front and side parts stop on, the rear behind the engine if the exhaust seal goes then that prays shite all over.

We’ve just got a laser engraver at work and keep forgetting to bring in some carbon to test

Was looking at the j tech 4w laser engraver.. but man what a price for a 4w laser.

jazzcnc any ideas on mounting a drag bit to the Z, easy enough to add later or best to incorporate into design now?

Best done now really but to be fair if your only using occasionally then I wouldn't worry about using it in the spindle.

At the risk of seeming a pit picky can I point out that Drag Engraving Cutters are a different thing to Drag Knives, one is not directional and is used for engraving hard surfaces, the other is directional, cutting sheet material and swivels under drag or power to maintain orientation in the direction of cut.
Anyone searching for Drag Knives may be confused.

I think the opening post mentioned a drag knife but you can’t etch glass and stone with these, so anybody reading the full thread won’t be confused

It’s now been edited

[jmac80]

Yes I edited out the word "knife"
We all knew what I was talking about in my n00bish gibberish

Sorry to raise this thread from the dead, but it's 2022 and the links are mostly dead. dragengraving.com still functions but after emailing the contact address and getting no response I'm a little reluctant to order from them for fear of throwing money down a black hole. Any more recent suggestions?
