Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Engraving on Mill

Hi Eric;

Rudy Kouhoupt made an engraving pantograph using one of these, the write
up was in HSM. I don't know (or have - I'm not being lazy!) the issue,
the article was reprinted in the "Shop Wisdom" book. He took the Dremel
apart and shimmed out the end play. The results looked OK, but not on
par with a true engraving setup. I don't know if this was due to his
using a burr for the engraving rather than a true engraving cutter, or
from an inherent limitiation in the rigidity of the Dremel itself.
