The ParaPak

The ParaPak System has been our number one selling package for many years.  It is designed for those interested in starting their own home business with High Speed Engraving. The income potential with this system in the personalization marketplace is unlimited.  We have included every element that you will need to get your own wood carving or engraving studio operational. In addition to all the necessary equipment, the ParaPak contains DVD training, marketing help, membership benefits and a Delearship package.

The ParaPak contains the following:

Ultra High-Speed Handpiece

This commercial grade ultra high speed handpiece is the heart of our high speed engraving systems. This air-driven handpiece is comfortable in your hand and rotates at over 300,000 rpm, with no vibration. That’s ten times faster than what others call, “high speed”. We offer the best warranty in the business, because we guarantee this is the best high speed handpiece on the market today. This Handpiece is completely rebuildable by our repair department, making it the last one you will ever buy.  Also included is a collet tool for easy collet removal for cleaning or replacement.

Spare Turbine
Your ParaPak System comes with a spare turbine, insuring that you will never have down time.  Turbine comes with a 2 year warranty and is re-buildable.

Automatic Filter/Regulator/Lubricator (F/R/L)

All compressors create dust and humidity problems that can cause serious damage to High-Speed air turbines.  This all-in-one unit will regulate the air pressure delivered to your handpiece, while filtering out harmful particles in the air.  It also has an automatic lubricator built in. Our Patented "micro-fog" unit is the most precise lubricator in the industry. It will extend the life of your equipment and make lubrication "worry-free". Simply fill the bowl with our high speed oil and set the drip rate. The lubricator will deliver just the right amount of oil to your handpiece to make it last for years, without you even knowing it is being oiled.

Parapoint Burr Sampler--Cutters (2 Sets)

Choosing which burrs you will need is very difficult when you are just getting started. There is a huge range of quality in engraving burrs (cutters) that you need to be aware of.  Our Engraving Systems include the finest grade burrs.  This Burr Sampler contains 12 premium diamonds and 12 premium carbides.  We have packaged the most popular diamond and carbide burrs in a re-useable plastic case for your convenience. Each burr is labeled and even has a picture below it, taking the guess-work out of trying to remember which is which. This is essential to making sure you are using the correct bur while following the training DVD’s. These same cutters will engrave the hardest metals to the most delicate eggshells and every surface in between. You will receive two complete burr samplers with The ParaPak. 

Compressor Hose, Tubing, and Fittings

This hose will deliver the air from your compressor to your Filter/Regulator/Lubricator Unit (FRL). We have designed this hose for portability. It is just the right size to provide plenty of air volume, yet flexible for portability and storage. The quick disconnect fittings included with the hose will quickly adapt to all of our systems and any adequate compressor.

Custom Molded Carrying Case (Large)

Specifically designed and manufactured by Profitable Hobbies, this moisture and dust resistant carrying case will allow you to easily transport, store and protect your engraving equipment.  This attractive carrying case will also reflect your professional image in the marketplace.  Made from sturdy ABS plastic, virtually indestructible. Large enough to add extra supplies and materials also.

Ultra-High Speed Lubrication - 8 oz.

Our Turbo 300 contains special bearings that require very little lubrication to provide many years of trouble-free service. However, lubrication is vital to the life of any bearings.  When used in the automatic filter/regulator/lubricator unit (F/R/L), this oil will ensure the bearings in your handpiece are properly lubricated. You will also use this bottle of oil to clean the turbine in your handpiece. One bottle should last for months if not longer.

Photo Sensitive Pattern Film -100 Sheets

This is the “magic” paper that puts those of us who couldn’t draw a stick figure if we had to on equal ground with artists. First, take your artwork and copy it onto this film using any laser printer or copy machine. Second, remove the thin layer from the back of the film, exposing the sticky-back. Third, place it onto the surface of your engraving project. Removable adhesive will even allow you to lift the film and re-position it if you don’t get it right the first time. Fourth, engrave right through the film. Your handpiece will not even know it’s there. When finished, peel off the remaining film and discard.  Professional results every time. Specially formulated adhesive will not leave any sticky residue on your projects.

Set up DVD's - Instruction and Basic Engraving Course

Over five hours of DVD instruction. The first two DVD’s will show you how to properly set up, clean and maintain your high speed system. You will learn how to regulate the air pressure on your FRL, how to set the drip rate on your lubricator, how to properly clean your handpiece, warning signs to watch out for and much, much more. The next three DVD’s will take you through a basic engraving course on which burrs to use on different surfaces. Learn how to engrave and carve wood, metal, eggshells and more.

Burr Push Tool

This is a tool designed to help you insert sharp burs into your Handpiece without breaking the tip of the burr.

It contains valuable set up information, engraving tips and techniques, turbine cleaning instructions, warranty information and more. In case you have a question, you will be able to refer to this printed manual instead of re-playing a DVD.

Designs include animals, wedding patterns, floral designs and a lot more. Simply put the CD into your computer and print it out in any size you want. You can even print directly onto your stencil film.

2 Year Turbine Warranty
We are so confident that our Handpiece is the only Handpiece you will ever have to buy that we will warranty your turbine for a full two years from the date of purchase. No other company will offer this.

Wire Brush
Use this wire brush to remove the rough edges while engraving on glass. Taking the edges off gives a soft, professional look.

Glass Scraper
A scraper will allow you to easily remove the stencil film from your projects without scratching. Also includes five extra blades.

Cleaning Stone
Extend the life of your diamond burrs by cleaning them with this abrasive stone. Diamond burrs (cutters) tend to get "gummed" up when sanding wood or using them on softer surfaces. They are usually not worn out, they just need to be cleaned. Simply touch the diamond burr to this cleaning stone while your engraver is running to clean the diamond tip.

Electric Foot Control
This Foot control allows you to turn your compressor on and off with your foot from a remote location.  Excellent for use at trade shows and public events when you do not want your compressor to run all the time.

You also get a professional grade, portable compressor with our exclusive Silencer Box.
