Subj: Metal engraving and a  Dremel

Hi list,
 
I know that I first heard of a 'Dremel' on the list years ago but only  
bought one last Christmas.  I've done a bunch of stuff with it and when  
browsing stuff recall seeing an engraving tip for it.  At the time I  didn't 
understand that as I thought that an engraving tool had a hammer  action a bit 
like a hammer drill.  However, unless I'm mistaken all a  traditional 
engraving tool is, is a high speed rotary device with some kind  of tip in it that 
spins around.  So, am I likewise right that my Dremel  tool can be a rotary 
engraving tool?
 
The reason I am asking is that the item I took to my only 'free hand  
engraver' turned out to be  a wasted journey as the engraver is off  work sick 
and may be for some time and I though about doing the job  myself.  I don't 
have a very steaddddy hand but I think that what I  need doing I should be ok 
with.  I have a knock off spinner that has  been lightened by having the 
centre machined out of it and I now need to get  re-chromed.  My previous 
experience is that the chromer will not only  strip off the remnants of old 
chrome but will polish it before  re-chroming.  That polishing and then 
re-chroming will make the 'arrow'  and letters 'right side' and 'undo' so faint that 
they will be more  difficult to read than I would like.  So my intention was 
to get an  engraver to run the tool into the existing letters to get some 
fresh depth  to them before having the spinner polished and re-chromed.  Any 
reason  then why I ought not to buy an engraving bit for my Dremel (not sure 
if they  come in different sizes) and do this myself?
 
Thanks

Daniel

The rear hubs are sealed with a Welch plug.  The fronts have the cover  
that was missing for years until I bought some after lightening the spinner but 
 are due to be replaced with something lighter (taper plastic plug).

How are  you going to protect the bearings from outside crud with the 
middle of the  knockoff missing?  Just curious.

I've discovered that my metal engraving skills will give my harmonica  
playing a serious run for the money....

Keep us  posted Daniel,   
I love my Dremel and bought 3 for my classroom shop. My favorite is the  
variable speed model which I wish I had at home. The last few years I have  
been buying the complete accessory kits for the kids and of course they loose  
the adapters right away. The little tools are so handy I need to see what  
other adapters they have come up with. over 10 years ago or maybe 20 LOL, I  
ordered a router and drill attachment are rarely use them but glad to say 
one  student finally had a use for the router attachment which worked great. 
I  always feel like a dentist when using the Dremel but glad I'm not due to 
the  unsteady hand...hahhaha.
