I have a technical question about regulating the GRS air supply.
About the Graver Mach and Graver Max, I only know they have more regulation buttons than the Graversmith I use.
The Graversmith has only one button to regulate the air pressure, and one for the speed SPM that goes from 400 to 8000.
I never tried a Mag or Max, so I don’t know where their extra buttons are good for.
I experienced that the lower the SPM, the more power on the impact of the engraver.
Usually I use 2300-3300 SPM for both main line engraving and shading.
For stippling background I use about 1300 SPM.
Because I only have one hand piece, the 901, and as Sam suggested to buy also a monarch for shading that I will do soon, I don’t know how to use all speed above 4000 SPM.
I would be logic to use more speed with less impact for shading, but on the 901 that does not work better.
Question: what do you use (SPM) for shading and line bulino?
