I'm still a newbie and agree that no lubrication is needed for flare cutting. You can get the cuts that you need by rotating your vise. Lots of practice is needed....lots.
Hello Everyone,
It's been a long time since I've logged on to see your beautiful work. A lot of loss and more have occurred in the last months. I wanted to come back and share work that I've been focused on for the last three months that is finally available for viewing. The vest has a tiny...
Hello, Unfortunately, I can't give my impressions on working with that system. I haven't purchased the LPFG engrave system. Someone else here has used it. I think they have one of the first comments on this post.
Thank you. Makes perfect sense. I attached my hammer handpiece to my Foredom motor and I do find it hard to see how I would be able to use it to create really clean and detailed engraving with it.

There have been some less than honest advertisements on social media for products, and then there is the all too common buyer's remorse....because there are people that don't read...
Thank you very much. I'm watching a video of his now. I think I've seen him post on a Facebook group in the past.
The hands that I saw holding the tool in the LPFG promo videos looked awkward and uncomfortable to me. But, working with the NGraver MagnaGraver took a long time for me to get...
I was trying to find videos showing how this thing looks in action. The videos I did find were not very impressive and did make it seem like a very uncomfortable piece to hold and have to work with. I do agree that a lot of the advertising that goes on online give false hope to many people. They...
Hello Everyone,
I came across an ad for this product on Instagram today and thought I would share. There were many opinions included in the replies, which is to be expected, but thought it would be a nice tool for someone who is a hobbyist or would like a little introduction to powered...
