I have been studying Marcus Hunt's English scroll key fob casting which I purchased from the FEGA site.
Can someone comment on recommended tool geometry for this style of engraving? A 2-3 mm dia backbone scroll requires a very small tool but so far I have been unsuccessful and get excessive heel drag even with a 15 degree hint of a heel. I've also tried various included angles from 120 down to 60 degrees and nothing seems to produce the result I see when viewing the cuts on the casting.
Thanks
