    Intro and your opinion wanted.

    Look into an NgraveR setup. I have one and it does work really well. You can get down to individual hits. You have to buy the hand piece and a flex shaft machine to put it on. They Have Foredoms for sale also complete kits. You also need a holding device. You can make a device, buy a device...

    Critique Request Drawing for practice plate

    If you just look at it without studying it you can only see the non-good lines on the outside square section and the wavy deep/shallow straight lines.
