Chomas Creations Etching/Engraving Tool for Maker and Explore and Metal Stamping Blanks: Round, Heart, and Dog Tags
Brand: Chomas Creations

Instructions for using your Chomas Creations Engraving tip in your Maker or Explore machines

Maker, Explore, Explore Air, Explore Air 2:Remove the blade on the right side of the machine, clamp B. Insert your engraving tip into this slot. There are no other pieces required to use the engraving tip.

Explore One:Remove the blade from the holder by loosening the gray clamp and gently pull the blade holder from the machine. Insert your engraving tip into this slot.

The tool is always on the right side in place of the blade as shown in the picture on the product page.

Make sure you set your project toCUT. Do NOT set your project to Score or Engrave, as this will not work.

When you send your project to be Cut, make sure you choose a fine point blade item for your project. We use the cardstock setting and change the pressure to maximum and often use multi-cuts as needed.

Notice it says no tool is required in clamp A. If it is saying you need a tool in clamp A you need to change to a different setting. If it is saying it cannot detect the tool in slot B you need to change to a different material.

The Chomas Creations engraver and precision tip will work in the Maker and Explore with the proper settings chosen.

PLEASE NOTE: The Chomas engraving/etching tool works in the Maker, Explore, Explore Air, Explore Air 2 and Explore One (tool goes into slot B, the right side, in place of blade). This tool does NOT work in the Silhouette machines.
ENGRAVE ON ANYTHING: You can engrave on pretty much anything you can fit under the rollers of your machine. No special mats either, just use your original mat. You may need to add extra adhesive to hold your item in place and do a multi-cut.
CREATE UNIQUE CRAFTS: It can be used to engrave and etch plastics, acrylics, metal clay, and flat metal (copper, bronze, silver, aluminum; not hard metals such as steel/stainless steel). It may also etch on glass and some papers. Test before investing in expensive media.
