Absolutely AMAZING work!The results from all that Chipping
Great work! I notice that you seem to spend a fair amount time sharpening the graver by hand. Have you ever tried a Sichtschleifscheibe (view grinding wheel)? The horizontal wheel has abrasive on the underside. The work is brought to the underside of the wheel. A strong light and a series of slots lets you watch the material being removed from the graver. Handy for many jobs like chamfering Allen bits.View attachment 1926996View attachment 1926997
A powered setup would be great, but portability is a big factor since I do engraving both at home and at work. At some point I'll break down and buy a diamond lap...probably sooner than laterGreat work! I notice that you seem to spend a fair amount time sharpening the graver by hand.
