    Critique Request Silver Cross

    60 degree face-- way, way too much. 45- 50. the 50 simply increases the strength of the tool point-- less bresksge that way

    any vid by him would be worth the price. but only andrew could say if corel info is included on them. or call the sales dept. perhaps they could answer that.

    Critique Request Silver Cross

    you could try putting short heels on the flats. as for chatter, likely the result of using air assist at a too slow speed. other than for hobo nickels, i never needed heels very much on my flats.

    Question: computer transfers

    i use v 11 to run a plotter, cnc engraving machine, as well as my laser. the value of scanning my own drawings and importing to corel is an absolute time saver.i'm way too dumb to learn all the things corel can do. but what i have learned to do with it is remarkable. i now design in v 8, then...

    Question: dots for transfering images?

    i used the paper & dot method for a long time. it's called pouncing. i never really tried to use it for engraving. i used an electric discharge gadget to create the "dots", or tiny holes in a drawn image on paper. the paper was then taped in place, and gone over with a sock filled with powder.
