    Question: Facetting machine for graver polishing?

    Hi there) Regarding Lindsay's templates - you only need to buy Universal point template, it is more than enough for a start! And you even dont have to order the polishing stones - buy any polishing stones, discs, and adjust the hight. Trust me, one graver geometry and hand polishing is enough...

    Some work of the last few years. Long delays in completing this alongside other work that came in. Turkish walnut grips, and checkered at 55LPI.

    Incredible work!

    120 chips MUCH SHARPER than 90s

    I should mention that highly polished gravers produce even nastier micro chips)))

    Turntable use ... i dont get it :(

    Make sure your vise is straight, not tilted. I put a rubber ring under the vise to keep it from tilting for example. Move your turntable with the vise on it to center it, and check if the position continues to be good just leave it like that))

    My first engraved watch dial))

    I engraved this watch (dial and movement) as a present for my dad's birthday, and my husband made a big job to put it all together)) Beautiful design is made by Ken Hunt, I'm his huge fan! It was a big thing for me to make the shading... I didn't made black paint on purpose, to show the light...

    Help, please: Graver geometry to cut in depth

    It's enough to avoid hurting the borders in tight scrolls, and not much loss at re-shaping if required)

    Help, please: Graver geometry to cut in depth

    Stephen I also use those wheels to sharpen a small belly on my regular graver, but I never made a huge belly like that yet. This is my graver I'm working with, 80 degree with mirror polished heels.

    Help, please: Graver geometry to cut in depth

    I will do something like you shared, will have to make couple of test-drives)) I don't have a power hone at home, have to visit a jeweller friend and sharpen my gravers at his workshop, so it's taking time. I will for sure share results!

    Jerry, I will try a 30 degree heel + belly removed till half of the graver, it should be enough for 1,6 mm depth. Most probably I will not be able to make my tiny swirls close to the walls though.

    Oh thank you for sharing! I was thinking of something like that perhars the distance between the face and the curve should be a bit shorter. Will have to think about and experiment)

    Help, please: Graver geometry to cut in depth

    Thanks for advise! I will try on the area which is blank, it should not be visible under another part on top of it. In fact this main plate will be mostly covered by other wheels and smaller plates, I engraved it more for training than from practical point of view)

    Help, please: Graver geometry to cut in depth

    I'm practicing a bit different engraving style this time (it's the main plate of watch mechanism), and I'm a bit stuck... can't figure out what kind of graver geometry I should use to engrave the part which is below main level (marked with a pensil on the photo). I have couple of idea, would...
