Description
The Power Engraver for the Silhouette Curio™ 2 allows you to engrave into harder surfaces such as acrylic, metal sheets, and silver clay. It works by spinning a small engraving bit at high speed, offering a deeper and cleaner finish compared to standard engraving tools that rely solely on pressure.
This tool is ideal for creators looking to add permanent, professional-grade etching and engraving to jewelry, plaques, tags, and more. When using the Power Engraver, it is recommended to replace the Electrostatic Bed with the Debris Tray to safely collect engraving dust and fragments.
