Dave;
Did you use a parallel heel on those gravers?

[DKanger]

So, you started out engraving headstones, eh!!

 

[Dave London]

Don, it is a proprietary point
No Head stones just to poke hole in concrete, for pipes
Dan these were used in the Pittburgh area. In that era

You must have been engraving Rolex watches back in those days.

RONCO JackHammer & Chisel Matic

That looks almost like the pneumatic tool I've been using. The RONCO JackHammer & Chisel Matic. You can pretty much "set it and forget it". It's great for everything from home remodeling to stone setting and bulino!
