    wriggle cuts

    Oh I see. The benefit of using a trailer hitch is to have a shaft to mount the graver (after Turning/drilling) so it’s a one piece solid holder. Makes sense. Thanks. I found some brass/SS spheres with a threaded hole in different sizes so wondering if it’s easier to modify compared to a hitch...

    Found this on Amazon. 1.5 inch and 1 lb - wondering if this would be a good size/weight? Thanks

    wriggle cuts

    What a great idea! I would love to make one for myself if I can figure out how/what... I believe extra weight/mass would help wiggle it better. Thanks for sharing. Any suggestions on what would I need to make this?

    Arm rest

    So far I have been using it for a few days and like it- it was recommended by someone on a Facebook engraving group so I tried it. Here is a link: Aluminium Alloy Ergonomic Computer Desk Arm Support Wrist Rest Arm Rest. Tuned Both Horizontal and Vertical Direction SY-ACC65087...

    Arm rest

    Made a little stand to mount arm rest ($40 Amazon) and hold gravers etc for easy access.

    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    Build a sound deadening box for my Gravermeister. Using the NIOSH sound app on my iPhone - it appears that the box reduced the sound by half (about 10 dB - from 73 to 63 on the nonlinear dB scale) - hopefully it will also remove the stinky smell of ATF from my workspace. Every little things help!

    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    After servicing the vanes mine has been running the 915 handpiece warm but not super hot as earlier. I am building a sound proof box with 2 muffin fans for intake/exhaust to see if it cuts down the sound and removes the nasty smell of dexron 3 ATF. I did notice little oil outside the left rotary...

    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    I see, I keep the oil level to the red line - perhaps I can wait till the wick is barely touching the oil and see if it sucks less oil. Thanks

    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    Mine had less than 100 hours of use on it When I got it and the carbon vanes look like new - the oil I am using is dexron III very stinky- someone in this forum said 10W non detergent so may be I should try that. I don’t see any adjustments for oil use so may be after some regular use the...

    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    Yes - proper ventilation is a must to avoid overheating- I am researching different air compressor box designs online but like John’s idea of a crate lifted up from the bottom. Fortunately the Gravermeister is small enough for building an enclosure around it using off the shelf crates/boxes. If...

    Help, please: Gravermeister/915 handpiece running HOT(SOLVED)

    Mine is plugged into an extension cord with foot on/off switch and I was wondering what to do for the stroke lever and oil canister (mine seems to use up a lot of oil since I reassembled everything). Liked the brass rod idea - thx. I am also thinking of adding a temp sensor with lcd display.
