Hey guys and gals,
I've just run into a problem. I've been using a HSS faceted point stippling tool for all my background work. I've cut the facets at a 30 degrees "heel", four faces 90 degrees to each other to form a pyramid. Now I'm working on a stainless cigar cutter. The steel has several hard spots which are flattening the tool almost immediately. I've made another tool out of an old carbide dental drill, but it is not doing any better. ANY SUGGESTIONS! I'm stumped.
