From the manufacturer
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.

Lighter than dremel rotary tools, and smaller, though the plastic seems to be of the same or similar quality.
Stroke per minute dial works as described, engraving depth can also be adjusted by the pressure you apply with the tool, the bit (like the diamond bit), and how many passes you do. Engraving small initials is easy, making decorative glass would be more challenging and would require more skill, but this is not what I use it for. After a few tests on some scrap to get the feel of it, I was ready to go. I was pleased with the results from the tool, but my handwriting, not so much. Tool worked well.
Included stencil works if the tool is help perfectly vertical to the engraving surface. Though the way the letters are stenciled, there are large gaps due to the thickness and design of the stencil. For example a letter B looks more like 13. Sometimes I used the stencil and then filled in the gaps by hand.
It's very similar to writing with a large, vibrating, noisy pencil. If you have a steady hand you could easily write someone a letter on a piece of sheet metal.
It is rather noisy, especially on the higher settings, lots of buzzing and rattling but doesn't retract from the functionality. This isn't the sort of thing that requires stealth anyway.
I had no problems with the set screw when changing bits. I was prepared with a small flat bladed pocket type screwdriver and know how not to strip a screw. Snug it up and you're done. If the bit comes loose (which mine hasn't) snug it down a little more. If you start perspiring, grunting, or shaking violently while tightening it down, ease up. It's a set screw, not the lug nuts on your spare tire.
Good price, Dremel is a name brand, and bits can be purchased at most hardware stores. I was unable to find the diamond bits at my local hardware stores so I just orded it with the engraver from Amazon.
Good tool
PROBLEM SOLVING SETTING UP THE ENGRAVING TIP
-You may have to twist the head around to find the set screw
-The set screw requires a tiny flat head tool, they provide a screw head for some reason, so you will need your own tool, luckily I had a multi-head in my tool box
-Unscrew the set screw all the way if you have to, its short so be careful. If the engraving tip doesn't fit PUSH it in, then screw it closed. Have fun
