I want to put initials into a wood bench; will this tool work?

Maybe. This thing is much weaker than I expected. Tip extremely small. Might be better off using a Dremel tip.

My guess would be no. The top inside has a plastic zippered compartment and padding which would not lay flat enough on a sewing machine. However, if you would hand sew the initials....that might work (going through the outside material only.)

I am sure it would all depend on the weight of the wooden monogram and how much surface area is connected, but I believe it would work.

No. It requires a special Bosch adapter to then use templates. I'd suggest a Porter Cable palm grip for template work. Thats what I'm now looking at.

Yes, however go shallow at first especially if it is pine or another soft wood. Don't press down just let the weight of the tool be enough. Keep it moving at all times.

I have engraved stone, and wood is no problem. It's all a matter of selecting the the right bit for the job. Carbide and diamond bits are wonderful, and there are hundreds of designs out there. By the way, this tool is great - I have three plug-in "pencil" types, now never use them.

You will have to get a engraving kit. Look up TEKTON engraving letter and number set. I hope this helps.

Best to make your own insert from a piece of wood. Would need to find a craftsman insert otherwise as every saw is different. I am a retired cabinet maker, get some wood make your own insert maybe several so u have one for every width of the dado.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

I would not recommend trying that. Definitely not the ideal tool for that job, as these are really made with wood in mind.

My guess is that you want something like an "Oblong Punch". Craftool Oblong Leather Punch 3 4" (1.9 Cm) Leathercraft Tool Tandy 31566-00

Looking at the stamp I believe that it would work; just let them know the dimensions you need.

Good luck. It is a tiny screw. It took me over an hour of trying to get the tip inserted and held in place by the screw before I discovered there was no possible way. A set screw would have worked well, but this engraver needs a redesign. Consider how much force is going to be applied to the tip, between the pressure needed to engrave your item, as well as the vibration produced by the machine and it makes no sense why such a tiny screw was used. Please read all the reviews before buying.

Hello Julieta - depending upon the thickness of the book, I would say yes. This is really a nice tool and a bargain at the price. Blessings! Howard

You can always find an engraver if that's what you wanted to do, otherwise I replied to your other one that we could do it with a metal strip personalized. Thank you again!

I made a wooden support using a thin plywood sheet with small blocks glued around the sander head when I use the sander upside down so it is less likely to move about. I then clamp the support to my bench top. It works well, but I haven't put it under any significant stress either. Rounding the corners of small items would most likely work, but if you had a large heavy item it might be too much stress for my simple support base. I love my sander and tend to use it upside down most of the time.

These tools use proprietary inserts--at least I have not found them elsewhere. Not sure about other tools.
