Don't be misled by how they assign part numbers. This is a .3mm burr. I've bought from them recently and had no complaints
CJ,
I went last year, but didn't stay at Westgate. There was a FEGA social event at a suite in one of the top floors. When I went to go to it, I couldn't get the elevator to go to that floor. I returned to the ground level and asked a hotel employee about it. He asked what room I was staying...
Monk,
Can you explain "takes inkjet very nicely" ? Are you burnishing an inkjet transfer? After the Dykem has dried? I would like to know more if you would explain further.

I've taken two classes with Ray Cover as well, and can't wait to take another class with him. He is moving to the Branson area and hasn't posted a 2020 schedule yet. I live near Kansas City, so he is pretty close to me. I went to Texas engraving school in Brookshire, TX and was very pleased...
Hey, thanks for all the replies. Leland & Jonathon - the hinge was something I wanted to challenge myself to achieve. I built two small dies to form the hinge (takes two steps to form each roll, and each half of the hinge had to be formed in three locations). sawed everything out, engraved...
