    Do you see the face of the graver?

    i f you reduce the size of the face, it should not be a problem. by properly shaping the graver, the face is reduced well below max. one good reason for this, touchup is much faster as there's way less metal to abrade away. also, the larger the face, in your case, more face to visually distract you.

    chemistry: the various acids, bases and and slew of "stuff" that makes work easier as well as better looking. also, electro etching with salt water. the process is dangerous as chlorine gas is released. safety first, kids !

    are you certain that the objective is seated properly ? if the objective is off axis a bit, such could be the problem. is the prism loose ? crazy little things can cause problems.

    Still looking at lasers

    you're correct. cermark does just that. i u don't know where it'ss made now.se it for finished products. i've never used it as a layout for hand engraving. i do think it would worrk for layout and subsequent hand cutting. cermark used to be manufactured just a few blocks from my house.
