Re: engraver
I am looking at adding one as well. I was over on plasmapig and saw the post on mounting a dremel.
Can you use Design Edge for engraving? I get single line engraving, but what about engraving something a 1\2 inch wide.
Thanks for any info .

Re: engraver
I talked to another machine owner about a year ago that set one up and mounted it on the carriage bracket along side of the plasma gun. He used Chicago pneumatic variable speed engraver (cost somewhere around $400), a dewalt air regulator with three outlets, a small cylindrical air piston (to hold the engraving tool down) and with a few custom brackets (made on the plasmacam): It sounded like he was in business.
Here is a video an plate marker on the plasmacam in action:

FYI, last I heard is that sometime in the next couple of months plasma my offer one. You might want to check in with them periodically.

Re: engraver
when the oem designs a scribe they have to spec a air slide and solenoid valves that they can buy off the shelf and warrantyRockenjvdesign wrote:I called plasmacam and they are working on one but I don't know how much its going to be probly high doll $$$$$$$$$$
when we adapt what we can find off ebay or craigslist, we buy over stock or used at 10 to 30% of the original price
while some people don't mind the cost, most of us would rather go the diy route
i have less than $100 in my scribe setup, that would have cost bulltear $1000 to put together and warranty
if my solenoid valve goes bad i buy a new $12 solenoid off ebay
