Active Tracking System- The EGX-20 uses an Active Surface Tracking system to prevent scratches on the material and maintain a constant engraving depth, even on bowed or non-uniform surfaces.

Now you can produce consistently beautiful results with less learning time and less wasted materials.

With the optional diamond scraper and burnishing attachment, you can also scribe light metals such as aluminum and brass for awards. Securing the material to the worktable is easy with the included adhesive sheet. Once you select the material to be engraved from a menu in the bundled software, the EGX-20 automatically determines optimum cutting speed and tool path, assuring smooth accurate results.
