I don't know what you mean J.J.? are you saying that Phil Coggan's point is only for 'bulino' point work? I think you should give it a try, the graver is well behaved and will respond to 'normal' engraving techniques nicely. I prefer to use heels, it's easer but line engraving is not dependent upon them, at least not for me.
