Hi everyone! I wanted to bounce this question off some of you who have experience with different GRS handpieces. What differences could I expect between a Magnum and Monarch handpiece? Right now I own a Magnum but am curious what the performance difference is, as I see that Sam and some other people use a Monarch often as well.

Thanks!
Michael

Michael: The Magnum is an extremely powerful handpiece, but can still do fine work. The Monarch is designed for low power work, and it's my handpiece of choice for shading, microlettering, and other delicate tasks. Some people use the Monarch for outlining scrollwork, etc, but I prefer the 901 for that.

Michael, I have all three and use them regularly. I use the magnum for heavy removal, background and larger work. The 901 for all my scroll work, and the monarch for shading. I use the Air-Tach for the 901 and Monarch, but can't wait for the Magnum handpiece for the Air-Tach.
