Total number of nozzles

The total number of working attachments supplied with the tool.

The abundance of attachments allows the machine to be used with various materials and for various types of work. At the same time, this parameter significantly affects the cost. Therefore, when choosing, you need to proceed from how important a variety of possibilities is for you - so as not to overpay for extra nozzles that turned out to be useless in fact.

Note that this item is indicated only for engravers (see "Device") - for models of other types, specific types of nozzles are given in the corresponding item (see below).

Additional handle

The presence of an additional handle in the design or delivery set of the tool (it can be either built-in or removable).

This handle makes it easier to hold the tool with two hands, which is important when processing hard materials that require significant effort — or in delicate work, where precision and maximum control are important. Note that, as a standard, it is done based on right-handed users, however, many tools allow you to change the location of the handle, for the convenience of "left-handed" work.

Flexible shaft

The flexible shaft is a special kind of accessory attachment supplied with the rotary engraver (see "Device") – this feature is not found in other tools. Outwardly, this device looks like a hose, sometimes quite long. One end of such a "hose" is attached to the engraver cartridge, and the other has its own cartridge, where the operating attachment is attached - rotation is transmitted to it due to the shaft located inside the "hose". The part of the flexible shaft held in the hands during operation is more compact and lighter than the engraver itself, so the most popular ways to use such equipment are processing hard-to-reach places (where the tool simply cannot crawl through) and fine work (which is difficult to do with a massive machine).

Noise level

The noise level produced by the tool during operation. For comparison, 50 decibels roughly corresponds to the noise in an office room, 60 dB to an average TV volume, 70 dB to a truck at a distance of about 8 m, 80 dB to traffic noise, 90 dB to a loud scream.

The lower the noise level, the more comfortable the use of the tool. At the same time, note that this parameter is usually indicated very approximately — the actual “loudness” of operation can vary markedly depending on the mode, the nozzle used, the material being processed, etc.

Weight

The weight of the tool can be indicated according to different rules: some manufacturers take into account only the body without a nozzle, others — with a standard working nozzle, for multi-tools (see "Device") the weight of the main unit without a replaceable head, etc. can be indicated. These points are usually specified in the specifications or detailed documentation.

In the case of a power tool, weight has a dual meaning. On the one hand, the smaller it is, the easier it is to hold the unit in your hands during long work and the more convenient it is to carry out fine, accurate processing. On the other hand, a light tool is less stable and has an increased tendency to jerk, which is important under difficult conditions and hard materials.
