    MOMAX GRAVER BLANKS

    Interesting about the spelling issue. I wonder if those are a knockoff of the original.

    MOMAX GRAVER BLANKS

    Are Momax gravers still available? I am revising the FEGA engraving handbook. There is a discussion of Momax gravers that I am not sure should stay in the handbook. I cannot find anything about those gravers online.

    Question: Advice wanted - publish a new gadget here or try to market it?

    Trying to manufacture and sell something on your own can be fulfilling, but it also can take up so much of your time as to diminish the real return from the design. It is often more rewarding in both psychic and monetary value to receive royalties on your designs from a manufacturer. You may...

    Rotary Question

    You have TWO issues with rotary tools. One is breathing the dust and the other is having the dust get on everything that you will later touch [in addition to your hands, sleeves, pants, etc. right now]. For the breathing issue, keep a mask handy. Store it outside up, so dust from other things...

    Nimschke Article

    That book is a superb resource. The good news is that with many software programs it is easy to turn the negative into a positive and see the engraving better.

    Using a gold pan to collect gold chips and fines from engraving floor sweepings

    Thanks for this link. This is not the one I remembered. The other one had a larger green pan, if I remember correctly, and several good related explanations.

    Using a gold pan to collect gold chips and fines from engraving floor sweepings

    Does anyone remember who did a video on using a gold pan to collect gold from the sweepings of their shop floor? Do you have the URL for the video?

    Do you see the face of the graver?

    It may help you if you grind metal off the sides of the graver to make it thinner. This will also have the benefit of reducing the size of the face to make it easier to resharpen.

    Looking for feedback and constructive criticism

    For my eye, the ends of the seed scrolls seem a little too balanced in size. I would decrease the size of the seed end of the seed scrolls to better show the direction in which the scroll grows.

    Facebook has groups devoted to laser users. The HYBRID ENGRAVING CLUB is for laser users who also engrave manually.

    Info needed on possible method of creating uniform round bottom to strengthen vee gravers

    After creating heels on vee gravers, I like to round off the sharp bottom heel edge to limit chipping. However, I often screw it up when rounding by hand and end up changing the heel angle. I can uniformly make a flat spot on the bottom of the vee heel by gently swiping the graver over a...

    personal question for full timers

    In my view, THE ENGRAVER magazine, published by FEGA, is worth the membership cost for the incredibly detailed photos of superb engravings and the how-to discussions--even if firearms engraving is not your thing. Many of the borders and other designs are useful for jewelry and other engraved...
