Spring Loaded Engraving Tools – The Ultimate Part Marking System to Optimize Rotary, Drag, and Scribe Engraving.
Engrave Flat, Curved and Uneven Surfaces with a CNC Machine and a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool
Dramatically Reduce Set Up Times and Reduce Engraving Cycle Times Up To 84%.
Spring Loaded Engraving Tools for CNC Machines
Made in the USA!
Reduce Set Up and Engraving Cycle Times up to 84%.
Spring Compensates for Variations in the Material Surfaces, so no need to Relocate from Part to Part. Save Even More Time with Faster Feed Rates and Rapid.


Engrave Flat, Curved and Uneven Surfaces
Spring action allows the Tool Bit to float with the surface, which accommodates for inconsistencies in the workpiece height to obtain a more consistent engraving.
Five Size Spring Loaded Engraving Tools
to Fit Virtually Any CNC Machine.
Use for Rotary Engraving, Drag/Scratch Engraving, Scribing and Etching.
3/4″ and 20mm Diameter
Standard Size Spring Loaded Engraving Tools
For Production Engraving with Typical CNC Machines.
1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ Diameter
Mini Spring Loaded Engraving Tools
Production Engraving using Smaller CNC Machines & Routers
- Spring Loaded Design Compensates for Surface Irregularities: Accommodates for variations in the material surface for a more consistent engraving.
- Engrave with your CNC Machine: Machine and engrave in the same CNC Machine, eliminating the need for additional equipment.
- Engrave Practically any Material: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steels, Plastic, Brass, Glass, and more.
- Reduce Set Up Times: Use the same machine for engraving and machining to reduce multiple machine set up times.
- Reduce Engraving Cycle Times up to 84%: Rapid operation of the tool into the part reduces slow feed to dramatically reduce cycle times.
- Use for Rotary Engraving: Create a wide range of depth and width of engraved letters, lines, logos and serial numbers using different Tool Bits, angles and tip widths.
- Use for Drag and Scratch Engraving and Scribe Marking: Diamond Tip and Carbide Point Engraving Tools create fine, detailed, shallow engraving.
- Engrave Glass: Using a Diamond Tip Tool to create fine and shallow lines.
- Polish, Buff and Deburr: Using polishing wheels, brushes and various accessories.
- Engrave 2D Data Matrix Barcodes.
- Fits Virtually any CNC Machine: Five sizes available suitable for practically any machines.

Spring Loaded Engraving Tools – Popular Applications
Engrave Stainless Steel, Tool Steels, Hard Materials
Use a Tough Tip Engraving Tool for Steels and Hard Materials, and a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool for Longer Tool Life.
- The Tough Tip Engraving Tool for Steels and Hard Materials is a customer favorite when engraving Stainless Steel, Hard Steels, Inconel, Hastelloy, and other hard materials.
- The Solid Carbide, Single Flute, V shaped Engraving Tool is designed for maximum tool life and strength.
- Its’ unique Tool Bit design significantly strengthens the tool tip to improve tool life.
- The Tough Tip Engraving Tool for steels is available with a flat tip off, radius tip, AlTiN coated, or uncoated in many different sizes.
Engrave Aluminum, Plastic, Brass, and other Soft Materials
Use a Variety of Tool Bit Styles for the Preferred End Result Needed
- Use a wide variety of Engraving Tool Bits in the Spring Loaded Engraving Tool when Engraving Soft Materials.
- Popular Tools used: Tough Tip Engraving Tool for Aluminum, Standard Conical for Soft Materials, Single Flute Ball Nose Engraving Tool, Profiler Engraving Tools, and More.
Drag, Scratch Engraving, Etching and Scribing
With a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool, Diamond Tip Tool or Carbide Point Tool
- Perform drag engraving, etching and scribing with a Diamond Tip Engraving Tool or Carbide Point Tool Bit.
- The Diamond Tip and Carbide Point Tool Bits will produce a shallow, thin, fine line on practically any material.
- This is effective for fine and delicate engraving of small letters and lines.
Engrave 2D Data Matrix Barcodes
Use the 2L PRO Engraving Software Program and a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool to create 2D Data Matrix Barcodes.
- The 2L PRO 3 Engraving Software Program engraves 2D Data Matrix Barcodes, Unique Identification Marks, and Direct Part Mark (DPM) as well as human readable text, logos, and more.
- Control barcode data cell spacing for different size marks.
- Add Ascii codes to the barcodes for macros or pad characters. Use with the 2L Spring Loaded Engraving Tool to reduce engraving.
- Decrease engraving cycle times when marking 2D Data Matrix Barcodes.
Glass Engraving and Etching – How to Engrave Glass
Using a Diamond Tip Tool and a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool
Engrave and Etch Glass, Ceramic, Tile and other Materials
- Use a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool for rotary or drag/scratch engraving with a Diamond Tip Engraving Tool.
- Engrave and etch Glass, Stone, Granite, Ceramic Tile and other hard and brittle materials without chipping or breaking the material workpiece.
- The Diamond Tip Engraving Tool will leave a very fine and shallow engraved line.
Polish, Buff and Deburr
Using a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool
Polish, Buff and Deburr using a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool
- Using a wide variety of attachments, use the Spring Loaded Engraving Tool to Polish, Buff, and Deburr workpieces.
- Polish and buff molds or other components right on the CNC Machine using felt or other polishing wheels.
- Deburr or break the edges of metal and plastic components.
- Use nylon brushes, wire brushes, or carbide burs held in the collet of the Spring Loaded Engraving Tool.
