Hello all.
I have not posted in some time as I have not been engraving in some time either. Day job and all.
Anyway I'll be receiving a profit sharing check shortly and would like to get a Lindsay Classic But as of right now I'm having one heck of a time just doing push engraving and I'm not sure if dropping $1200 on a new toy/tool is a good idea.
My #1 problem as of right now is slips. It seems to me if i keep the graver in the steel I'm cutting to deep but then I try to work a little more shallow and zoom there goes the graver.
I'm thinking if all I have to do is guide the tool as opposed to push hard enough to cut steel and guide it maybe this skill will come a little faster.
I'm not too concerned about getting a Airgraver as if it doesn't help me along I can get most of my money back out of it.
Thanks in advance
Kerry
