Abstract:
A selectable symbol engraving tool for use with a CNC machine. The engraving tool includes a housing and an array of styluses supported in the housing. A pattern disk is rotatably supported in the housing and is connectable to a spindle of the CNC machine. The pattern disk includes a plurality of hole patterns, each selectable via rotation of the spindle and including one or more clearance holes corresponding to a symbol. The array of styluses is positioned to confront a selected one of the plurality of hole patterns such that styluses corresponding to the clearance holes are retracted and the remaining styluses are extended. The extended styluses are operative to engrave the symbol corresponding to the selected hole pattern in a work piece via orbiting about a virtual axis of rotation when the selectable character engraving tool is moved in a circular motion by the CNC machine.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for engraving a selected symbol into a work piece, the method comprising:\n supporting an array of styluses in a housing; selecting a plurality of active styluses corresponding to the selected symbol from the array of styluses; extending the plurality of active styluses; moving at least one of the housing and the work piece toward the other causing the plurality of active styluses to contact the work piece; and moving at least one of the housing and the work piece in a circular motion relative to the other thereby causing each of the plurality of active styluses to orbit about a corresponding virtual axis of rotation.
