I've been a machinist since 1998. I never would have thought to use a router bit for the radius. Subscription earned!

Clamping a router round-over bit in the tool holder to cut a contour is pure genius.

Nice trick with the router bit.

This things is awesome and it blows my mind that you made it. Well done sir.

Looks like you might have had too much fun polishing that knob 🤣🤣

Outstanding video, glad you described what you were doing instead of just making it. Thank you.

Project Idea: How about a tripod for your camera........

it looks like a pro build and its amazing you've never held one! well done man, you earned my sub

That is so freaking cool that you can make your own awesome tools. As always, I loved watching!!!

Great build, and a fantastic video! Loving the new style with you talking on camera more, and your shots and editing are on point. We continue to have shop envy with all your fancy toys. ;)

That was super cool and surprisingly simple. Nice work!

This is awesome! Fantastic job. I will have to make one. Thank you!

Love your talent!

Great job! Thanks for the shout out!

Nice work as always. We featured this video in our homemade tools forum this week :)

You are a wizard! Holy!

Nice. I'll have to put one of these on my to do list.

Nice! Making tools is high level making!

Wow! Great work!

Damn that looks awesome Austin an works pretty good too nicely done 👊🏽

Very cool trick using the router bit to cut that radius. Liked and subbed.

You're one hell of a machinist

So freakin cool! I didn't even know what this was before watching and now I really want one of my own haha!

Ottimo lavoro complimenti

Awesome, maybe first time I've seen wood on a mill like that.

Awesome work! I have a few of these too. same story as you but then i found i enjoyed making them a little more than i liked using them haha. one area i tried a little different was tapering the area behind the quick insert so the transition didnt feel as abrupt in the finger gripping area. But mind the tab. Try it out on one and keep up the amazing craftsmanship!

Good work! This sistem was invented by Сергей Вальтман. This is his idea and first realisation.

Very nice build 👍

Доброго времени. Отличная работа, спасибо за хорошую работу и видео

Well done! Metal and wood....looking all fancy together!!

Just saw your post on KZfaq machinists. Great video. 👍 a well earned subscribe. Looking forward to more videos

can this be used with a variable pressure compressor that doesn't oscillate? You certainly raised the engrave up a few levels with your build! Thanks for sharing. Doug

Mate, that was an incredibly simple explanation of building your own engraving handpiece. Your machining expertise and simple communication skills are par excellence..ask someone who speaks French to say those 2 words. I, too, have similar skills as a Toolmaker. Next project may I suggest a flat rotation table that runs over Torlon or plastic balls. I made one with ¼" tapped holes so that I could mount fixed objects that needed welding. My aim was to do engraving. I have in this period of 11 years developed a tremor in my left non dominant hand. Yeah, it's what you think it is. So, seeing your build gives me hope. I wish you well, Brother, in another country all my best. Let's see some scroll work...look up Sam Alfano. He like you are Masters of their craft. Mike from Down Under. I echo the sentiments of using a router bit to make that Radius. I've spent hours making a HSS one for a project....DOH!

I would have to buy one. Otherwise I gotta purchase a steel lathe and tap and dye set. A drill.

So how is it going with the Graver? Would love to possibly be able to reach out to you 1 day if you're willing to make another one. I don't have the ability nor the tools to make such a beautiful piece.

Do you have any precautions when turning wood on the metal lathe to catch wood crumbs?

i'll come up with something you can engrave for me. a small blade maybe. great vid!

Great job....I need one handpiece,if to buy but in Ghana

Bel lavoro anche carino nella forma.

If I may know the shipping cost and price of selling one... thanks

That’s awesome man. Crazy some of the things y’all come up with mixing wood and metal together.

You make me want to learn machining so I can learn engraving.

Hi, is it work with continius air pressure? Regards

Hello, how can I buy the pneumatic burin that you make?

Great

Awesome build. I’m interested in buying one. Do you sell them and what is the cost? Thanks!

Hi, beautiful engraver. Are you using a foot pedal? Do you sell your engraver?

👏👏👏

Blank sheet of paper?? Those are great instructions!!

Yes!!!!!

You are a truly talented person can I get the plans please

👍👍👍

I would buy one

For safety, keep your hand low on the vise, well out of the path of the graver if it slips

YT is sucking right now. I just received notification of this video. 6/10/21

Hello, can I buy this tool from you? Including air compressor, I'm in China.

hi could i get the schamtic?

Would you sell one? I'd definitely be interested

Great job ... !!! 👍+sub ... !!! :) Regards Paul P.

hello sir, can i order it? i need a tool to engrave, how much does it cost? is there a contact I can call?

As a PSA from a professional engraver, I’ll offer some observations. All of these pneumatic engraver videos focus on the handpiece and get the foot pedal or air source completely wrong. Imagine someone teaches you to build a car on KZfaq and the last thing they do is tell you to install an “on/off” switch in place of the gas pedal/throttle. You will have a car, but you can only run it at max RPM or not at all. A pneumatic engraving system is the same. It relies on a very precise throttle control to control air flow and thus speed of the tool. Without this control you’ll have what might be a very nice hand piece that is incapable of making the precision cuts required in hand engraving. This may be a case of the blind leading the blind. People seam to be following the example of a few a few KZfaq videos produced years ago by some folks who were not engravers and therefore didn’t understand how these tools work. This video is a case in which the maker builds a nicely made tool yet doesn’t have the system in place to make it function as it should. And for those wondering why professional tools cost so much, this is why. This build demonstrates the precise machining it takes to produce a quality tool. And the real professional tools are built to a much higher standard than even this. I love shop made tools. But as an engraving instructor who sees around 60 students per year, I witness firsthand what happens when beginners think they can learn engraving from KZfaq. I end up correcting major problems with fundamentals that were never learned in 99% of students who are self taught or learned from videos. Engraving is hard enough. Add in tools that don’t function as they should and the problem is compounded. And the beginner is left believing the problem lies with them rather than the technique or tools.

Any Metric plans out there ? :)

hello, it was great, can you send me the PDF, thank you

Would you sell kits

I never seen anyone use a router bit on a lathe before

Ok so how much for you to make me one ?

What made masin adress

Any interest in making and selling one?

You made a beautiful hand engraver, and didn't show yourself engraving any hands. What a joke.

Would you consider making one for me? We can work out a price

Are you using a foot pedal? Works a lot better…
