hello,
loving all the tips,tricks and personalities on here. I have decided it's time to bite the bullet, and get properly set up with a powered graver and the rest. Im still decididng between Lindsay palm, or grs, but the main decisions are as follows.
the scope- looking at meiji EMZ-5 on acrobat, but would like to have the option to film through a trinocular viewer. having trouble finding the equivalent model, and tri's can be a bit confusing, with some models only having two eye holes avail at a time, even if equipped with three. Any guidance would be appreciated, before it all gets too hard, and i just get the emz-5 . Im happy to let any local advisors visit and use it to film if I get a good scope to film from :biggrin: (Im in Sydney, Australia BTW).
Next point of confusion is the compressor. I want a quiet one, Im using it at home to start, and at night. Apparently there's a good sil-air, but it's $3000, and id refer to keep it under $2k if possible. (more money for the fun stuff). I can't find any local distributors for the super quiet brands, but I'll continue looking on ebay etc.
Last major issue is with the GRS power hone. I've read what I could find about it, but Im unsure which set up I need to create gravers from square stock. In fact, ive been on a few forums, and they're all very useful, like this one, but it's hard to find sections anywhere that are a good outline of options for setting up .
thanks for reading this long post!
