    Beginner, new to Engravers Cafe, having trouble sharpening graver

    I think that what you are referring to are chatter marks (I honestly can’t tell much from the photo). Chatter marks ( if that what it is ) will run perpendicular to your cut, think sleepers on a rail track. I don’t know if I can properly describe how they come about, there are probably lots...

    Intaglio Hand Engraved Flutist Print

    Nice... I’ve done a bunch of prints lately... just a smeary mess.. we’ll, I kind of like it that way, but would rather keep it my choice

    What is hopefully a quick question.

    Prisma makes a blender. He is using the 40% gray which is a transparent gray... either warm or cool, i forget.. the blender might work, or maybe you need that little bit of pigment. Idk

    Dark lines amongst light ones

    The wire brush you will want will be at a jewellery supply, or some such,,, Hardware wire brush will be too course for the type of work you are doing.

    Seeking photography advise

    If you are trying to flatten it to study it, you could do a graphite rubbing and then flatten that out.. if you are reversing it to give yourself a different perspective, you could still scan, or photograph, and reverse your rubbing

    Dark lines amongst light ones

    I’m not sure I see what your problem is.. as the guys have already said, it’s probably not worth agonizing over at that scale... are the visible to you with your naked eye... Okay, I said I don’t see the problem.. but I do see a few things that might be the problem. The biggest dark...

    Tumbling sterling silver with 24k gold inlay?

    It stiffens up silver quite a bit. More than polishing, which stiffens up silver a little bit

    Tumbling sterling silver with 24k gold inlay?

    Do a small test. I imagine it could go badly... but maybe it’s the next great thing. Might be better to prep your inlay... rough shape your troughs, and then harden it up and raise your burrs

    Microscope depth of field

    Maybe you can spin the head right around and mount it “backwards” for that?

    Microscope depth of field

    Thanks.. she has been kind enough to talk to me about the system before.. said she thought it was in the guts.. which would make sense, with the kens arranged such that it does not impinge the field of view... this was my ill conceived attempt to hack my scope

    Microscope depth of field

    I tried to fake the new Leica a60 system with its depth of field by adjusting the aperture in the ocular lens with some copper washers. Obviously this is not where the constricted aperture is because all I got was a coppery artaifact in my field of view. Anybody with the a60, can you see the...

    Help, please: DIY Jeweler's Bench

    i switched from optivisor to microscope and that has had a vast improvement on my back and neck pain because I would no longer be leaning over my work. I use I Leica which allows the eyepiece to be raised and lowered without adjusting the distance to the workpiece... which goes just one step...

    Potters wheel wobble

    Question: What type of vise u use for engraving under a microscope?

    Do any of them have a low enough centre of rotation that they don’t roll out of view when you tilt the vise?

    Potters wheel wobble

    I use the same guy but don’t get any wobble. I do get some rock through my stand because my floor isn’t that solid. Is it the wobble of your turntable for sure, or might it be the base?
