Decent air scribe?

[Joe_17]

Does anyone know where i can get a decent affordable air scribe for prepping? Something under $100 . Some of the ones ive seen are over that.

 

 

Thanks

the only thing you can find for under 100 bucks is an electric engraver which might or might not do the job and will not last long at all.  It is not made to run for more than a few minutes at a time.  A good air scribe also needs an air compressor and accouterments... another several hundred bucks.

See esp the pinned items at the start of the list.  Also the recent post on the subject at:

 

 

"Spoiler alert":  You'll need to spend much more that $100 to get into air scribing as @jpc has already advised.
