    Just wanna give a HUGE shoutout to the folks at Glendo LLC

    A few weeks ago, I mentioned an issue I was having with my 901AT. Later the issue became a bit different as the holder was becoming loose and attempting to escape the handpiece itself. After speaking with someone from Glendo......( YES! Actually speaking to someone.) No - phone prompts. No -...

    Question about polished gravers.

    Is there an advantage to highly polishing a graver, vs just hitting it with the 1200 wheel on the GraverHone and running with it?
