kaiverruskynä

Kaiverruskynä, also known as an engraving pen or etching pen, is a tool used for creating designs or text on various surfaces by removing material. These tools typically feature a fine, hardened tip that can be manually or electrically powered. The manual versions are often stylus-like, with a pointed or shaped tip that is moved across the surface to scratch or abrade it. This method requires significant dexterity and consistent pressure to achieve precise results.

Electrically powered kaiverruskynät operate using a motor that vibrates the tip at high frequencies or rotates it. This vibration or rotation allows for easier material removal and can produce finer detail than manual methods. They are commonly used for engraving on metal, glass, wood, plastic, and stone. Applications range from decorative etching on jewelry and glassware to marking tools and equipment for identification, and even in artistic endeavors for detailed carvings. The type of tip used can vary greatly depending on the material being worked on and the desired effect, with options including diamond, carbide, or hardened steel. The control and precision offered by a kaiverruskynä make it a valuable tool for both hobbyists and professionals requiring detailed surface manipulation.
