159 forum posts 18 photos | 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 |

![]() 1494 forum posts 403 photos | 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 |
