Dod, not at all, just a quick google! And if something proves to be useful, blow 'elfin safety', just don't use them in public!

There is definitely a design for one in ME. I recall seeing it recently when I researched some info from my archive for something else. As I was looking into the southworth duplex feed pump I guess it was about that time , I think it was under workshop wrinkles or something like that rather than being a separate article in its own right.

Hope this helps

Lidl have a 9.99 engraver which pops up every now and then.

I've used it to mark quite a few tools... not very skilfully though, engraving is a highly skilled trade

We used to use one of these etchers in the '70's to mark the tool numbers on punches and dies we made for packaging machines. The stylus on the "pen" made contact with the target and sparked/ buzzed like a mini arc welder. A dial on the base/control unit would increase or decrease the intensity of the spark. A very effective tool that I had almost forgotten about..........Rik
