more on rotary tools

Post by KurtHuhn »

So I've got his thing that appears to be a Powercrafter engraving tool:
http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/cgi-b ... ter-carver

I don't necessaily want the hassle of a pneumatic tool, so I figure I'll sell it on eBay and use the procedes to fund some other purchases - like a Duracrafter or maybe even this month's car payment (I drive a 3-yr old Taurus, the payments are small). So, I take some pictures and begin looking for Powercrafters on eBay to get an idea of price. While I was taking pics, I noticed that the tool didn't say "Powercrafter", it says Paragrave.

I know nothing about Paragrave.

Still, I figure, maybe it's worth something. I have a full set, including a maintenance kit and about 6 dozen bits. However, I can't find *anything* on Paragrave anywhere - just some site that calls it "the Cadillac of engravers".

On a whim, I type in "www.paragrave.com" into my browser (yeah, I know, shoulda been my first act) and promptly fell off my freakin' chair. Go ahead, take a look:

I have the Genesis system. Do you think that customer liked his pipe?! Holy poopy! It is used, but I would call it "like new".

Jeez. I'm gonna have to send that guy a pipe or two....

In the meantime, I'm going to hold on to this baby, and save up for a compressor. It apparently doesn't need a big compressor, so something small should be okay.

Criminy!!

WOW!

I'd say you do owe the guy a pipe or two.
