Indent Marking Tool is designed for CNC milling machines

Dapra Marking Systems has announced the availability of the DMwriter, a unique indent marking tool for CNC milling machines. Using compressed air through the spindle, or from a secondary air supply to actuate carbide stylus, the DMwriter can mark as fast as 120 inches per minute, much faster than standard engraving tools. Alpha-numeric characters and logos can be generated using standard engraving software to create the marking layout.

With a 5/8" shank, the DMwriter is designed to fit standard toolholders and eliminates the need for secondary marking operations. It is capable of marking parts up to 62Rc, with the depth of the marks dependent upon the air pressure used. Unlike engraving, the low-stress indent marking performed with this tool does not remove any material from the part.
