    Transparency paper

    I have wasted lots of time, paper and acetone to no avail. Then a couple of weeks ago I had a lettering project that was going to take ages to set out manually so I tried again. This time with a thin wipe of shellac, laser print from the Sharp printer at work on plain paper, cheap acetone...

    Accurately replicating design onto curved surfaces

    Did you have a go with camera lucida apps? Doesn`t make it easy but keeps you trying...... I have Obscur for Android.

    That part is the sharpener head and you can see it on the GRS Apex. Modifying (re-making) it for 4.5mm is much more complicated than just getting a QC holder made up for a template type system. Also the post mounted systems are not really suitable for hand shaping/sharpening without a power...

    Yeah, i'll see if i can find a hand piece that uses 6,32 QC's. Last question for now (i hope): Can the dual angle be used any other way except with the 6,32 QC holder? How is that gray part on the dual angle in which you insert the QC called in english? Maybe it can be replaced to hold the 4,5...

    The device looks good - looks like a GRS clone It would be best to use one size of QC for the handpiece and the sharpener. It is difficult to remove and replace a graver between QC's without upsetting the alignment and having to reshape again - we are talking small degrees here! I did see one...

    Pulsegraver is not pneumatic as far as I know. This is a pneumatic 'suck and blow' system. I presume it pushes the air back and forward. I needed a no-compressor system too. I have had it for a week or so and don't have anything but a half destroyed practice plate so far. Also I am a hobbyist...

    I have never used GRS or Lindsay, too expensive, so I don't know the differences. I bought one of these recently...

    cousinsuk.com stock engraving tools and ship international. The bench stone is not best for sharpening. Thin diamond discs 150mm diameter can be used much more effectively even without a power hone. Just put them on a thick flat sheet of glass. Get what you can afford, grits 120, 240, 400...
