I'm having a terrible time trying to engrave a pair of h.d. upholstery shears. Somehow I got a scroll outlined on one of the blades but I'm busting graver tips much faster than I can sharpen them. I think a heat treatment might help by making the metal easier to work????. Who would I look for to get this heat treated???. Can the origional hardness of the metal be restored after engraving? If for some reason the customer doesn't want to forgo the extra cost, does anyone have any advice how I can just get through the last couple of inches? The last section I tried to work busted 8 graver tips on a small small scroll, about a half inch. I've tried the tungsten piston, shorter heels,dubbing the tip, hi power, low power,different angles of approach, hss, m42 and carbalt. Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks,Dave
