Hi All,
I was wondering what cause raised rims and scape marks on engravings. I generally use a square graver
with a 55 degree face with a15 to 17 degree heel. I also sharpen with the GRS power hone and after the ceramic lap I polish the face and heel with leather that has diamond spray on it. This seams to happen on hard and soft metals but is more noticeable on metals like brass and nickle silver. I use the graver mach with the settings usually between 28 and 34K. Any help would be much appreciated.:big grin:
Thanks,
Rick
