The WEN 21C is a compact electric engraver with a 13-watt motor and adjustable stroke that etches clean, precise marks into metal, glass, wood, ceramic, plastic and leather.

Whether you’re personalizing tools, marking components, decorating glassware, or adding identification to leather and plastics, the WEN 21C packs control and versatility into a small, handheld tool. It includes a durable tungsten carbide tip, variable stroke settings for fine or heavy work, and a set of letter, number and symbol stencils to speed layout and repeatable markings. Built with a soft-grip neck and backed by WEN’s two-year warranty and support network, this kit is made for hobbyists, small-shop users and anyone who needs consistent, legible engraving without a bulky setup.

How does the variable speed and stroke adjustment affect results?

The WEN 21C’s stroke adjustment allows you to choose between delicate lines and deeper cuts. Lower stroke settings deliver smoother, less intrusive marks on fragile surfaces; higher settings provide faster material removal for tougher substrates.

• Variable stroke dial for control between fine and heavy engraving
• 13-watt motor sustaining up to 7,200 SPM for consistent performance
• Tungsten carbide tip retains a sharp point for precise lines
• Adjustability reduces the need for multiple tools

What materials can I safely engrave with this kit?

The 21C is designed to mark a broad range of common materials used in crafting, workshop and household tasks. Test on a scrap piece first to dial in the correct stroke and pressure for the best finish.

• Metal: identification marks on tools, tags, or hardware
• Glass and ceramic: decorative etching or labeling
• Wood and leather: custom designs and personalisation
• Plastic: part numbers, codes, or small decorative details

What accessories are included and how do they help layout?

This kit arrives with a set of stencils for numbers, letters and symbols to simplify consistent marking. The stencils let you block out text quickly without freehand tracing, improving speed and uniformity for repetitive jobs.

• Soft-grip neck improves control during detailed work
• Compact form factor for working in tight or awkward positions
