My guess is that this tip would work fine for you as I have yet to find anything that in won't work on.

It's not easy to answer your question because you don't say what kind of "stones." Nevertheless, this is supposedly a "diamond" tip. At the price we pay, it's probably not as hard a diamond as, say a $4000 rock in a ring, but it will most likely scratch or engrave most other surfaces of lesser hardness than an industrial, man-made diamond. Softer stones such as jade or granite can be engraved with this tip. Basically, if you buy from a reputable seller, the more you pay, the harder the engraving tip. If you want to engrave stones you picked up at the beach, you're probably OK. Gem stones depend on what gem they are.

There is scroll work on the blade and some space to engrave depends how big and how much engraving! It was a gift so I dont have it in front of me to look precisely!

So far I have only used the honing oil provided by Smith. But any light weight oil will work quite satisfactorily. This is a good quality stone and will create an excellent.knife edge. It will require some patience to learn how to maintain the same sharpening angle with each stroke. Good luck.

I have not used my Dremel to engrave anything, but I am sure you can, because of the high speed of the Dremel, also you best make sure that the keys are well secured down so they do not move around.

I use a battery powered Dremel with diamond burr. Line the angle as original touch it in the cove and done. It will sharpen very quickly so don't leave it to long before checking it. Feel a new chain to know what you are expecting. You want a point at the junction where top and side meet. Hope this helped.

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.

Hi Linton. Not sure on the tip issue. I do many types of repairs and small hobby things with mine. I have no doubt u can do glass. Just not sure if the particular tip u want is included. I have 2 of these units. I have suffered zero burn outs on tips etc.Been a mil wright 35 yrs. The tool works well. I dial in the heat I need for alloy I'm using and it's good to go. Hope this helps u friend. Merry Christmas an Happy Holidays

Hey Lora, The font and size can be as big or small as you want. We send proofs of the engraving before we actually engrave. During that process you can let us know what edits to make so the end product is exactly what you have in mind :-) Nathan

Unfortunately we are unable to offer engraving. You would have to have that done locally. Thanks for shopping with us.

I have used this engraver to engrave my initials on bits for horses. I have to go over and over to be sure it can be seen. If you want it to look really tidy is go with a better model I think. But I have had pretty good luck, for the price anyway

No. Can't engrave anything, since the screw holding the engraving tip will strip, making the tool, useless.

The best thing to do in my opinion is to ship to CS if you have a spare or don't need it for a while. I've had some bad experiences sharpening. At the same time, I don't claim to be a pro. They are pretty cheap. Otherwise, I'd say wetstone is best

I use the pink stones for sharpening knives and tools. The operators manual says they are either aluminum oxide grinding stones or silicon carbide grinding stones, the second of which is said to be good for grinding and shaping very hard materials such as glass. As for my personal experience with it on glass, it does work but not for anything needing deep engraving or fine lines or for any precision. I recomend getting a set of diamond encrusted engraving bits I got like a set of 20 for like five bucks and they are good for almost anything and if I remember correctly this comes with at least one of those. Hope this helps

The sued side. Truth be told though, get a decent quality strop if you are going to do something as fancy as chrome oxy. Do you have a good wet stone?

I would not recommend, because if you destroy the integrity of the metal, you ruin the sword. And 2, only if you know someone personally who knew how to handle the engraving and do a decent job. My suggestion would be to place in a display case or stand and have an engraved plaque made stating what you would like.
