The VM Manufacturing 5 AMP Pen/Brush Plating Machine is a versatile electroplating unit designed for professional jewelers who need more than a standard bath plater. This machine supports three distinct plating methods — bath plating, brush plating, and pen plating — in a single compact unit. For pen plating applications, it delivers approximately 2–5 times more power than competing pen platers, making it a notable upgrade for precision work. Bath plating capacity accommodates 1–10 rings depending on ring size.

Plating Method Reference

Brush Plating (also called selective plating) is a portable electroplating technique that allows metal deposits to be applied to specific areas of a part without an immersion tank. A brush-like tool applies standard plating solution directly to the target surface, enabling precise, localized metal deposition. Ideal for on-site repairs, touch-ups, and small-scale plating.

Pen Plating uses a special felt-tip pen to deliver precise application of specially formulated pen plating solution. This method is widely used for touch-ups and decorative highlights using rhodium and gold plating solutions.
