Dremel Engraver
Dremel Engraver Materials
290 Product Walkaround

Will adjusting the Stroke Control Dial change the speed?

No, the dial alters the impact or depth of the engraver. The higher the chosen number of the dial, the greater the impact or depth.

What accessories will work with the Dremel 290?

The Dremel 290 Engraver will work with two engraving tips/accessories - 9924 a carbide steel tip and 9929 a diamond replacement tip.

What’s the difference in the materials the two different engraving tips can work in?

Under most conditions the 9924 carbide steel tip will perform very satisfactorily on glass, steel, ceramics and other hard-materials. For continuous operation on these materials the 9929 diamond point tip is recommended.

Wish they had included a few bits
4 Stars
Wish they had included a few bits
my biggest complaint is why do they only provide just one bit!!! they seem to dull out pretty quick when working on metal.Not the easiest to hold and control. the power on/off switch is in a odd location where you haver to use both hands to mange. The power control dial is hard to tell when you in the right position for 1, 2 ,3 4,etc... as you twist it around.Once you screw out the set screw to install the bit you will find that it takes some extra pushing to get the bit seated all the way to where when you screw back in the set screw it will bite down on the bit.Overall I feel there is a bit of room for improvement. but it does get the job done.I bought this to etch in my license plate number in to my catalytic converter to help deter theft. Between panting it with high temp paint and etching it with an ID I hope this is enough to encourage a thief to move on to the next.
