Abstract: An engraving tool holder for use in delicate engraving operations that provides fine tool length adjustment. The holder further provides adjustment of tool retention pressure. The holder has a bore that extends axially from the rear of the holder toward the front. Within this bore is an adjusting member that establishes the insertion depth of a tool. The tool holder has a tool receiving aperture formed axially and extending from the forward end. The receiving aperture has a substantially similar cross-sectional shape as the tool inserted into the holder. The holder has at least one retention member located adjacent to the forward end and perpendicularly engages the tool along the receiving aperture.
