Engraving Machine
a machine for mechanical engraving from a drawing, stencil, or model. An engraving machine is used to transfer representations from bas-reliefs and other convex artistic originals to soft metal (such as copper), stone, or wood. In metalworking the engraving machine is a small copying-milling machine with a pantograph, carrying a cutting instrument (cutter or graver), which cuts the stamps, inscriptions, and figures on machined parts. An engraving machine is used in polygraphy to prepare zincographic stereotypes. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
