USB to Serial Adapter

Carbide Burnisher & Diamond Cutter

Last year we opened our online accessory store, giving our valued customers the ability to purchase accessories for their engraver or router easily, at any time, online. We have been busy adding new products to the store. We have recently added 3 popular items; the USB to serial adapter, carbide burnishers, and diamond cutters.

USB to Serial Adapter: There are a multitude of brands out there; we’ve tested several and have selected the one that works best with our software and machines. If you are having problems with the connection of your machine, this may be the fix.

Carbide Burnisher: A faceted, rotating tool used to remove laquer coating to expose bare metal engraving material, which leaves a wider line than diamond engraving. These tools are made from carbide, a hard material manufactured from tungsten and cobalt.

Diamond Cutter: A cutter with a diamond at the tip, usually used for engraving metals.
