    How would you expand upon this engraving

    the shading is far from "elegant". if this was the design of choice, i'd begin with the shading. jm2cw

    Flare/transition cut question

    i never did a special geometry. just a 45 face with or wo heel. suffice to say. i never practiced the cut enough to become satisfied with my results. my customers were happy, just not me.

    Flare/transition cut question

    Gravermeister oil choice

    not sure what's specified but i always used low viscosity oil. my meister is still alive and well. the only real issue i had with it was belt wear. be sure to clean the handpiece with naphtha or such after each use.
