Hi Guys,
.
Bit of disclosure first... I am the guy making these:
.
.
eBay Link:
CNC Drag engraving tool for router or plotter. Spring loaded.
.
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/152025476127
.
I've been making them for 6 years.
.
Now, I need to warn anyone with an ER11 collet machine (or Bosch POF500A or similar) that the reason I do not sell engravers with shanks smaller than 10mm is not because I can't mechanically make them, I can, but small routers (of the ER11 variety) are NOT DESIGNED for the side loading involved in drag engraving.
.
You will destroy your bearings in short order. This is why I sell a simple split collet which holds the engraver and which replaces the router body during engraving.
.
For the love of God, do not buy a 1/4" shank drag engraver and use it in a small router.
.
Cheers,
.
Wilson.
