Default Electro engraver?

I got one.
You can't have it.
But you can borrow it.
It's not all that big, like a really small mig, proly not even as heavy.

Yeah, it's old, sorta rough, but it works. Cloth insulation on the electrode
wire! Used it once, not super-impressed. Tip proly needs sharpening.

But I suspect one would be pretty easy to kluge. Mebbe it's just a
choked-down welder or battery charger, or a welder on a variac!
How 'bout tig on a variac??

What about a Dremel w/ a diamond tip? Harbor Freight is practically giving
their 1/8" diamond points away.

Inyway, email me iffin yer innerested.
Man, do I hate goddamm UPS.....

Anyone got one of those old electro engravers that use a transformer
box, a metal sheet or alligator clip and a pen like device to use a
small arc to etch tooling and stuff?

If its rough..I can probably fix it up.

Swap or trade for Stuff, or small money prefered.

Im on a kick to mark all my tooling...much of which is already
engraved/etched with the numberous past owners names or initials G


Ive tried the chemical etch/stamp with stencil thingy..but its too big
for must stuff.

Or a set of plans for something buildable out of Stuff?
