Is it capable of carving or etching letters in stone with a diamond bit?

Yes, it certainly is, but for heavy duty use I would highly recommend the metal body version of this tool.

I doubt it. I wasn't pleased with the sensitivity for note taking, so for something as precise as art, I don't see it working the way you want.

No, not really. You can use it to scroll and zoom in on some document formats, but the controls are clunky. It is a great tool for 2D and 3D CAD though.

I see no reason why it shouldn't. It's very flat and the diamond grit is harder than any stone. And it's no too coarse.

Probably not. It's pretty thick - it has 3 blades side by side - so precision is not really possible with this thing. If it were me, I would just buy one of those little pumpkin carving kits - but not the cheapest one I could find, some have better quality than others.

My experience is that this pen does rough engraving on metal or on hard surfaces. The quality is readable but somewhat poor. I have tried writing on metal, plastic, and ceramic with the same results. Don't expect professional results with this engraver. The advantage of this engraver is that it is portable, and that's about it. Somewhat dissatisfied.

sorry not sure but I believe it is for taking a picture converting to its format and carving the image on wood or metal

I'm not sure what you are etching, Eric. I use this tool for wood carving. You can see some of my work at: etsy.com/shop/treewiz If I knew a little about what you are wanting to do, I might be of more help. Gary Wiz Burns

Yes, it can be used for engraving. If you go to the Dremel website or u tube you can see videos on all the different things one can do.

Don't know, I used it with a masonry bit to chip away in a cement block to make a small hole larger.

from what I found online- yes you can cut marble with a diamond blade so yes this should work but I also saw that water can soak into the marble? Might want to check that out

This may work If the diamonds are impregnated on the edges of the disk. They have what Is called a cutoff disk you can use them with the same Dremel tool. Those are meant for the problem you have.

Yes it can be , be sure to purchase the proper "BIT" for ceramic or stone whatever you are drilliing into

Yes you can but it requires a diamond tipped sharpener and someone who knows what they are doing

I am not sure, I recommend the diamond because its simple as soon as you get to know the features, tool, etc.

yes, but you have to get the right bit. i recomend to you to make the board with photofabrication or etching process and the drilling through circuit boards and protoboards with your cnc carving. for plastic parts no problem at all!.this milling equipment is with very good precision accuracy. it's great!

Depends on the rock! Mica chews the blades up really badly, and other shiny or hard stones are really bad for them. Sandstone, granite, and anything with a 'soft gritty' feel to it seems to work out really well. I've made 20+ pendants with these, including both putting single holes (which are a little large! Warning!), doing lines (also a little thicker than I'd like!) and carving them into shapes. Think about 2mm wide holes. I actually love the crap out of these for cutting stone, and work with them a ton. They also work great on bone. If doing glass like the other feller suggests, go very slow, with water, and don't let it heat up or you'll break the glass. You also need to use one of the flat-ended column types at an angle to really carve into it quickly, or the rounded cylinder shape to just press on through. The points will not work for this and are better left to detail work going sideways. There's also different bits in the newer version, including a bit with a fat head, tipped by a thin little "blade round" which is fantastic for straight lines and engraving if you can handle the width.
