    Question: How to prevent copper plate from oxidizing?

    It might come under another brand name.. museums use it for long term preservation without compromising the integrity of other finishes, patina ets.. look for something that is microcrystalline wax.. it is in a solution with some kind of solvent. Smells like petrol.. but probably naphtha

    Best sharpening system // fixture for brand new (broke) beginner?

    I’d say the plates are your budget solution, as you can get by with only a very few geometries.. could probably just do 90, I know many who rarely stray far from that….. even cheaper is to sharpen by eye..

    Protects engraving metal to avoid oxidized

    renaissance wax is what you want.. tho it has a thinner in it that might effect you’re drawing on the copper, depending on what you use. . You can also just engrave until you are done and then clean your copper with an acid, or light buff, and then wax it after

    Is this a set screw on Victor Vise and how do you adjust it?

    I have that vise... I think it raises a bearing against the centre post, pulling the plates apart, and thus adjusting the drag on rotation... I think I’m right... but as such it’s sort of a two spead adjustment.
