@jrh13-65 8 ай бұрын

I like this device. I find that It compliments my Dremel for doing fine wood carving, that my Dremel Flex Shaft is a little more awkward. I have only been wood carving for a few months, but I use all my woodworking tools to help me out to get the best result. I do find that the Customizer does get warm after continued use. I just switch over to the Dremel for heavier carving at those times. I also like the portability of the Customizer as I can take it anywhere to use it, where the Dremel I can't. I would recommend the Customizer for anyone doing wood carving or engraving.

I saw this advertised on Facebook before last Christmas, linked it to my chat feed, then forgot about it. I saw another advert tonight and thought I'd have a look here on KZfaq for reviews. Yours was the first I saw and I have to say, I'm impressed! I've resent myself the link and I'm going to see if I can afford to get one next pay-day. I can think of all sorts of stuff I can do with it and the gifts I can make with it too! Thanks for a really good and informative video. I wonder if it would be worth attempting to create an end cover from resin? Hopefully that would also form a shallow bung to help protect the USB slot as well as look after the end against unwitting bashes!

Is it me, or does this engraver look just like most nail technicians tools? But did you know some of their tools have a reverse funtion so you can have the spin going one way and then the other. Now this is very handy when doing tight areas. So i do like the carving bits this comes with and drill bits. Im curious to see if it can go into a nail drill, as i have just purchased one for craft reasons. Its very good. And it has a a little base box that you can clip to your side and a telephone type cord to the handle. I love the dial to adjust the speed over a digital button. Much faster. But it still has a digital screen. And im yet to charge it. It has 10hrs battery life. Thanks for your review, im glad this too is a quality product

I just got 1 of these pen engravers only thing is Im not sure what bit to use on certain things such as wood, glass, & or stone & metal. Are all the bits ok to use on these items? Or are there certain bits for certain objects- a few bits for glass & other bits for wood & so on?

@tacticaltavern Жыл бұрын

Great question- I would say they all should work but it depends on the material so if you can do a test on similar materials for best results

@angrypuppett33 9 ай бұрын

Diamond head bits work best on metal or glass , my advice to you is use different bits , practice, practice, practice, you will definitely get different effects from different burrs , different woods are harder to use , I’d start with pine , also deeper cuts for like muscle structures on animals like Elk for instance!! Remember unless your a artist, the right. Stencils are everything!!

Absolutely and a great question! It also depends on what material you are carving and how much pressure you are a applying but I have gotten ours of use without needing recharging for a week! Again, if you use it more frequently, you will need to recharge it more, but it also has a very quick recharging in less than roughly an hour and a half (depending on amps) hope this helps!

Few years ago had a major car accident, my second in 15 years, that I couldn’t even hold a pen never mind a engraving-one!

I will be putting it to the test this week , I have been using the maker X from Worx it’s big in your hands but it’s a very good tool! Nothing can compare to the SCM tool in my opinion ,, but for the price it’s a great alternative, I have a feeling I will be using both these tools to replace the SCM system, and I’m ok with that !

In my testing I got hours of use that translated to a week of using it everyday without needing recharging until the end of the week- there’s also battery life indicator that is very helpful at managing battery life I was very surprised but it can be challenging to give an accurate number because it changes based on materials being carved into- The more tougher materials like metal and some wood will burn out the battery a little bit faster than the soft materials Hope this helps!
