MC Etcher - Diamond Drag Bit

MC Etcher is our new diamond drag bit. It is perfect for fine line engraving on composites, metals, and glass. MC Etcher drags a diamond-coated, spring-loaded tip over the surface of your material to create an etched or engraved pattern, it does not cut with flutes like a normal endmill. IMPORTANT: The drag engravers are not meant to rotate so the spindle needs to be turned off when using MC Etcher. Ships in a reusable storage tube. Details MC Etcher is available in three variants: Individual 90-degree tip Individual 120-degree tip Combo pack: 90-degree tip (1 ea) and 120-degree tip (1 ea) All MC Etchers have a 1/4" Shank. 90 Degree or 120 degree tip? The 90-degree tip has better penetration in very hard or anodized materials. The 120 deg tip provides slightly wider lines in softer materials such as fiberboard but has less penetration in harder materials.
