Electric Engraving Pen for Glass and Wood, with Precision Tip, USB-C Rechargeable, Also for Metal and Plastic, Compact Handheld Size

A name or date in glass or wood, as a gift that lasts

An engraved bottle, a small wooden board with a date, or a wine glass with initials is a gift you won't find in a shop. This electric engraving pen with a precision tip works on glass and wood, so you can write directly on the material instead of sticking on a label. The pen has an electric motor, is rechargeable via USB-C, and is compact and ergonomic to hold, about the size of a thick marker. It's also suitable for metal and plastic, so one pen can personalize all the gifts you have in mind.

Why it works well on glass and wood

• Precision tip: fine enough for names, dates, and small designs on the curved surface of a glass or bottle.
• Electric motor: the tip vibrates on its own, so you don't have to apply pressure to glass, where too much pressure can cause a crack.
• Suitable for wood: on wood, you get a clear line without tearing the grain, as can happen with a wood-burning pen.
• USB-C rechargeable: no cord to catch on your workpiece while you engrave a curved line.
• Compact and ergonomic: you hold it like a pen, which offers more precision for fine lettering than a drill.
• Also works on metal and plastic: the same pen for a metal bottle, a wooden box, or a plastic suitcase.

Working on glass and wood

On glass, first stick on a piece of masking tape and write your text on it with a fine-tip marker; then trace the lines with the engraver, so you don't have to write freehand on a curved surface. Hold the pen perpendicular to the glass and let it move steadily: don't push, let the motor do the work. The same principle applies to wood, but it's best to engrave along the grain, as engraving across it makes the line rougher. Practice on a test piece with both materials, because the depth of the line determines how visible it is, and this varies by type of glass and wood. Fully charge the pen via USB-C beforehand.
