Excellent. As a high school teacher I bought this ...

Excellent. As a high school teacher I bought this to label my personal set of 30 calculators that I have for my classroom. I did not use the lettering template more than once because I found it to be too small. It was easy to adjust the depth and I quickly figured out the best speed with which to write. The hardest thing was getting the bit attached, the small screw requires a mini screwdriver, and even then it takes a bit of finesse to get it to hold the bit in place just right. But once it is in, there is no need to remove it so that is OK. I have labeled my calculators, my own child's calculator for school, my computer charger and several other items. Excellent little engraver for the price.

This thing is fun to use

To everyone having issues with the tip staying in place: You have to remove the small holding screw completely, and wiggle/turn/push the tip through the insertion spot until it comes all the way through. The hole is snug, and you should see the base of the metal tip through the hole where the screw came out. Screw the screw in as tight as possible. This thing is fun to use! I love it!

Great simple engraver. Would recommend

Before this I used a Dremel rotary tool to do all my engravings and it was nearly impossible to write on anything to the circular motion of the bit. This bit does not move in a circle, it moves in a back and forth reciprocating motion allowing much better control over the fine tip. The stock bit seems plenty strong for most materials including tools such as a hammer and several pairs of police handcuffs. Nothing I have used it on seems to phase the bit so far. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a simple engraver.

Good tool for beginner like me!

Very easy to use - especially for a beginner like me! Price was also right for me.

Perfect engraver.

I got this for the primary purpose of engraving my art onto rocks. I was not disappointed in the least.

A Keeper!

Great product at a great price. The only problem is the set screw for the tip is EXTREMELY small, and took the smallest screwdriver I could find. I finally found an old pocket screwdriver I used to carry 30 years ago. Be careful to use a very narrow blade screw driver, or you will damage the set screw hole threads. In order to insert the tip, you have to back the screw out, and then insert the tip. About 1/2 inch of the tip should show if properly inserted. Snug the screw down (not too hard), and gently pull on the tip. If it comes out, then you didn't insert it far enough. I believe these two reasons are why there are so many reports of people stripping the threads on the set screw hole. The carbide tip is plenty good enough for average use. I even marked my crow bars. I recommend you use a light touch, and practice on some scrap material before actually marking your stuff. Hold it like an ink pen, and write away. Adjust the stroke (speed) control knob to match the material.

Reasonably priced and works great

This takes a bit of getting used to when using and suggest anyone start with some junk pieces of metal and glass. But once you get the hang of it this works great. This is an update of my previous review. I have recently started using this tool to do engraving on glass. If you consider doing this I recommend two things. One is a dust mask, preferably one where you can pinch the nose to make it fit well. You do not want to be inhaling glass debris! These are inexpensive at any pharmacy or hardware store. And you will want to use work area where you can use a paper towel to clean up the small bits of glass that come off the glass you are working on. Glasses or goggles are advisable as well. I started doing work on small vases and am now using old wine bottles putting scenes from Italy and France on them and using these as gifts for people to use for olive oil or oil and vinegar or other similar uses. I do my work freehand and while it is tricky engraving on a slick surface after getting used to it I have found it works beautifully. I have set of diamond tips but find that the tool that came with the Dremel works great and I seldom use any other bit. I use lowest setting for speed since at higher speed I did crack one vase while engraving. Was able to save it, as it was minor crack, but since then I have done probably 25 vases and bottles and no cracks. Using old bottles is great way to gain experience with the tool and find how you have to hold it to get the right cut but once you do if you have any artistic skills (mine are probably average) you should find you can produce good work that make great and inexpensive gifts. I wait for Bed, Bath and Beyond to send me $5 off on $15 coupons and use those to buy pourers for olive oil, etc. to add to the bottle when using for myself or for gifts. These pourers do not come with dust/bug caps which you need. Solution I found was to go to Home Depot and buy a pack of 96 small end caps for shelving units. Works perfectly as a cap for pourers. At $6 with tax for 96 this is very economical.

works well loud though

Works great needs some practice to learn how to control and use precisely but worked as expected used it to engrave my cooking knives with an artistic pattern. Loud I wear hearing protection while using it.

I am very disappointed with this product / LOVE IT!!!

"I am very disappointed with this product. I live in Georgia (not in the states), and I ordered a product. On April 2, the shipment was made on April 5 to the US-Georgian transport company that serves our country for the carriage of goods from America. On April 13, I received a parcel at the Georgian address. After that, I did not have time to check the product until today. I turned on Engraver and in a few seconds started to engrave on the tree. The device warmed up, smoke went, Sparks flew, and it burned. I almost got electrocuted. In the photo I uploaded, you can see how the it melted. I had a Dremel 4000-6/50 120-Volt Variable-Speed Rotary, which I really liked, and I thought that the Engraver also met my expectations. Unfortunately, I do not know what to do, and I do not know who to turn to." E D I T E D : After this review, the guys from Dremel contacted me and explained that this was my mistake, and said that the product's failure is the result of using the product at 120 volts at a voltage of 220/230 volts. When 120 volts is purchased in the US and used in Europe, a 120/220 volt converter should be used. After that they told me: "As a gesture of goodwill, we want to send you a new 220-volt engraver, so you can enjoy working with the Dremel tool." And a month later I received a new absolutely brilliant engraver. What can I say ... I do not think other companies would do it, and if I could give 10 stars to this product, I would do it! Thanks, DREMEL!

Works as advertised and well worth the price!

This is a great little engraver and I use it all the time to personalize my stuff and deter it from theft. It works as advertised & is well worth the price paid. I've engraved my tools, my favorite cross pen, DSLR's, iPhone, iPad, and Macbook Pro. I've engraved all kinds of things with it. It works on basically any kind of material. The only tricky part is inserting the engraving bit & fastening it with the grub screw, but honestly its really not all that bad. I didn't have a problem, but I could see how some mechanically deficient person might. I would certainly recommend practicing on something of non-value first, as it does take a little time to get use to. I would also first recommend outlining your script to engrave first, with a fine point permanent marker before engraving. This helps to keep your lines neat. As you get better with the feel of this engraver, then you can freehand it as you feel fit.
