Pantograph/Gravograph wanted

[ovenpaa]

I need to add some small numbers to some parts and engraving seems to be the way forward so does anyone know of a small Panotgraph/Gravograph type engraver for sale. I have looked on eBlag however they are all a bit on the big side and it needs to be a worktop version.

Anyone?

Why not get a 3D printer and swap the printing head out for a Dremel or similar?

Nice idea and I can also find little CNC engravers however learning and set-up time is going to be a faff so a simple engraving machine seems like the easiest option. The vast majority of work will be on flat surfaces and will be a simple text string such as '7mm/.284'

Have you considered laser engraving? It looks much better.

[ovenpaa]

I already use a laser engraving service which looks very good however it is a long drive if I only want to number up half a dozen comparators and et them shipped out and I have no desire to buy a laser system for here as ultimately the costs are passed onto the customer albeit indirectly.
