Electric graver, system and method for jewelers

A handheld graver comprising:

• a fixed-position graver tip held in a forward end of a heat-conductive metal stylus tube;
• a hollow rear handle section comprising a wall of heat-insulating material;
• a solenoid unit mounted in the hollow rear handle section, the solenoid unit comprising a plunger reciprocating in a heat-conductive metal solenoid housing, the plunger connected to an actuator rod extending through a forward interface end of the solenoid housing to selectively engage an anvil in contact with the graver tip in the stylus tube;
• the forward interface end of the solenoid housing connected to the stylus tube with a heat sink connection comprising a heat-conductive metal-to-metal connection, and further comprising a plurality of heat-convective fins extending outwardly from an outer surface of the forward interface end of the solenoid housing adjacent the heat-conductive metal-to-metal connection;
• and,
• the hollow rear handle section connected to a rear end of the solenoid housing at a rear insulating connection via a rear portion of the wall of heat-insulating material, the hollow rear handle section further defining an insulating air gap spacing the wall of heat-insulating material of the hollow rear handle section from the heat-convective fins and from a remainder of the solenoid unit forwardly of the rear insulating connection.
