Default Re: The Lindsay AirGraver and traditional tools

If I was restoring an antique gun's engraving I might revert to H&C because all of the old works show lots of progress marks that are hard to duplicate with power assisted tools. I still have my old Grvermeister which, with my old heavy handpiece from the 70's, will cut with progerss marks though the marks show more uniformly than that of 19th century gun engraving.
