I've read a thread on stippling led to a post with a video on background removal with a rotary. This was followed by a thread on rotary point geometry and more rotary discussion. This all-in-one background removal/stipple/texturing method seemed a mavelous revelation.
This all had the effect of making me "need" a rotary tool. A search of this and another engraving forum left me with more questions than answers. The opinions ranged from very bad to very good depending on what the respondents engraving medium was. I was unable to discerne a course of direction from the wide ranging responses.
To narrow it down, I ultimately want to engrave guns. So two questions of those gun engravers.
1. To rotary or not to rotary?
2. Which rotary?
A. High speed air, 300,000+ rpm like the Presto or 850?
B. High torque micromotor, 40,000 rpm like the NSK evolution?
Thanks in advance for your help.
