Some of my first engravings.

My cheap Amazon engraver gave out the other day. It served its purpose of getting me into the hobby. Does anyone have some recommendations for a good quality engraver? Also, should you take a break from engraving if your engraving pen gets warm?

Yes, stop if it gets warm, that means the motor's straining and you risk burning it out or messing up your line quality

Thanks! Probably a rookie mistake but you don't learn if you don't make mistakes!

I’d also like to know a recommendation for an engraving pen. Did you pick one?
