8 best cordless engravers

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

A battery engraver can do a lot of useful work in everyday life and in a creative workshop. The device does not have high power, therefore the scope of application is limited to small workpieces. The device is able to cope not only with soft materials (wood, plastic), but also with different types of metals. If the master has the necessary equipment, the engraver can perform such operations as cutting, cleaning, grinding, milling, drilling. A rich assortment of battery dremels is presented on the domestic market. Recommendations of our experts will help you to choose the model that is optimal in terms of price and technical parameters.

Selection recommendations

Disk rotation speed. For the engraver, one of the most important technical characteristics is the shaft speed. The larger this value is, the higher performance the device demonstrates. This parameter is selected taking into account the diameter of the tooling, which is recommended for use in the tool. The larger the diameter of the disc (circle), the less resourceful the engraver should be. A useful option would be to adjust the rotation speed. There are slide (smooth) and position switches.

Case or box. Since there is a lot of small equipment with the engraver, a case helps to ensure the safety of the entire set. It is best when there is an insert inside with special niches for each rig. In extreme cases, you can purchase the device in a cardboard box, but it will be difficult to exclude damage and breakage of the tool and accessories during transportation.

The weight of the engraver. An important role in long-term work with the tool is its mass. It is indicated in the assembled state with a standard battery. The most productive models weigh 0.5-0.7 kg, while compact household products weigh 0.25-0.40 kg.

Battery capacity and voltage. The operating time of the cordless engraver depends on the parameters of the battery such as capacity and voltage.

1. The higher the battery capacity, the longer the device can operate without charging. However, with an increase in capacity, the mass of the battery usually grows, and therefore the entire dremel. A professional tool is often equipped with two batteries: one can be used in work, the other is recharged at this time.
2. The duration of the engraver's work without recharging also depends on the battery voltage. When comparing two batteries with the same capacity, the working time will be higher for the model with the higher voltage.

Functionality. Modern functions help to improve comfort and safety during work, as well as durability of the tool.

1. The speed stabilization system provides automatic maintenance of the set rotation speed of the tooling, regardless of the hardness of the material or the load on the tool.
2. Overload protection allows you to neutralize the negative impact on the motor and gearbox when the equipment is jammed in the material.
3. The engine brake saves operator time by instantly stopping the shaft from rotating. Without a brake, you will have to hold the engraver on the weight for some time after turning it off until the rotation of the rig stops completely.
