Thank you for your patient response. I feel a little silly how hard it was for me to wrap my brain around this whole issue. I have a couple of sharpening fixtures / templates which all seem pretty straight forward in comparison and after I sharpened a graver using the 120 easy graver I felt...
notice the 120 fixture holes (the closest to the top) are for the initial shaping of the bottom of the graver.... why would the 120 be closer together than the 105?
They are all "Missmarked," you can look on the website and from the forum of ppl selling these. the 105 fixture has a wider angle compared to the 120....
I just picked up a set of Easy gravers on here..... How is it that the 105 is wider than the 120? meaning the fixtures seem like they are reversed for the stated angle? the 120 is closer to a 90 point than the 105....

Yes, actually my studio is within walking distance just 1.5 blocks North East on 11th street... Bench Omaha. I'm usually here 10-3 during the school year.
Cheers!

Hey Jeff-

I too, own several vises. Being a metalsmith / jeweler I could probably consolidate or in retrospect only have gone with my Lindsay Truecenter PalmControl. It is extremely versatile, and literally the benchmark in engraving tools. If you will be working on mostly wearable items / jewelry...
That's a very open ended question that greatly depends on what you already have and plan on doing. You'll need compressed air to power the tool so that is the first order to tend to. I believe Lindsay tools has a C02 cartridge adapter to use as an alternative to a traditional air compressor...
Each tungsten piston is machined to very tight tolerances specifically to each hand piece. You may want to check with Steve if you want to use a new piston that didn't get matched to your air graver.

LOL. I've perfected a whole regiment with my laser printer (brother) . I tape a piece of parchment paper to a regular sheet of paper to print on. Before I run the print I'll lightly scuff up the parchment paper with a green brilla pad to help the laser ink adhere to the parchment a bit...
