Rich it is a sweet tool and fun to peel back metal. Always loved to carve and whittle. So I jumped in to learn a new skill. It is not a cheap endeavor because it takes a lot of additional items to do it well. Palm Engraving is so much cleaner then rotary engraving, just seems to capture the light well. I'm enjoying the process. The diamond rotary sharpening tool sure makes all my engravers, knives, drills, wood carving and hand tools super sharp with a very clean straight edge.  Find I don't use the pedestal grinder near as much.

I do believe under these stop conditions it is best to have homing enabled with good limit switches.

 My fist jewelry piece, Made on my newest rack and pinion built machine (40" x 30" x 2" table)

    I recently watched a new TV series called Revolution. There was a new prop introduced, a silver pendant. It caught my eye in that it looked like a perfect fit for ArtCam, Mach3 and my new interest the Lindsay Palm Engraver. Though I used Fortal Aluminum as the base material, polishes well but is a little gummy for engraving. Amazing that from an image, a recreation can be produced. Its not perfect but it was fun and taught me a lot.

You might look at a project BR549 Terry/Sherry(  ;D )  and I worked on quite awhile ago and see if it can be adapted to your needs
