Hello everyone, I stumbled across a collection of equipment from an engraver that used to engrave for the franklin mint. Currently I have a couple foredom rotary tools and I purchased a graversmith setup and a 901 handpiece. I have boxes full of gravers but most seem to be used for handpush engraving. I've been trying and trying but I can't seem to get anywhere. I can't get the machine to tune right, and at best my lines are weak and shallow. I'm mostly engraving aluminum for motorcycle parts and electronic cigarette boxes. I need help. I don't know which gravers to use to get the deep cuts that I need and It just seems that either the machine isn't strong enough or I'm using all the wrong gravers. Basically at this point I'm digging through boxes of used gravers trying to find one that cuts a decent line and stick with it. I'm willing to pay for help if there are any engravers in the tri state area. I'm just frustrated and ready to give up. Are there any engravers locally that could give me a hand?
