Can anyone explain the pro's and con's of the Gravermach vs. the Gravermeister. I was told I had 30 days to decide if I wanted to keep my Gravermach or send it back for the Gravermeister. I originally intended to purchase the Gravermeister after talking with an Engraver who has used it over the past 40 years (and it has never broken). I was told that since I already have an air compressor (It's a porter cable, 125 psi, 6 gal pancake compressor, no oil / I used it for framing nailer and brads) I would be better off with the Gravermach. It was one that had been reconditioned from the GRS classes and I got it for $821.00. I read the tips archive about compressors and mine is cycling correctly but cycles quite frequently due to air escaping from the handpiece and also using the handpiece to engrave. I was told the compressor would kick only every few hours, mine seems to kick on every few mins after dropping 30 psi. After reading the tips archive it sounds like I need a better compressor like the silent air. I like the Gravermach alot but have nothing to compare it with and the noisy compressor is bothering the wife. I would appreciate any feedback that would help me. Thanks in advance.
