Re: Tool Decission Dilema (Contest)
you will have to be careful when using an air tool that you let the tool do the work. I had a lot of slips when first using an air tool becasue i was forcing the tool along, instead of letting it do the work.
Since learning the airgravers, my hand pushing is better too. I let the graver do the work, with much less pressure than I used to. A light clean cut can be made deeper. A heavy ragged cut with a slip doesn't help anyone!
Sharp tools and depth control (angle of attack) will make for good engraving, no matter how the force is applied to the tool.
