Up date on the demo day after 5 hours drive and train ride I made it to st johns square the guys were running late with van trouble but made it in the end all be 40min late then 1/2 setup .
my main reason for the trip up was to compare the En-Set and the grs system but then Harry found that the foot control for the en-set was still in nottingham under the bench which sort of killed the day.
But I did have the chance to give the Gravermach AT a run and I must say I wasn't disappointed with the way it performed
very well on heavy cutting and fine shading as well with both foot control and palm touch.
would have been better if we could have run the enset at the same time so thats about all as I had a 5 hour return run I took my leave and head home .

I also attended this . I also made the trip to compare the Enset with the grs equipment. Also to meet one of the members here. After finding the venue and the room it was being held in I was unable to test the Enset. The only reason for me to attend. I stayed for half an hour , Harry was very helpfull in answering my questions ,but not what I was expecting from the description. On the plus side I was able to join my wife and daughter shopping in Oxford street earlier than they thought. Or should I say earlier than they wanted.

An Enset is a relatively new engraving system. I use one and like it. Look on Tira Mitchells website Engraver.com for more information .She is the dealer you need to visit with if you want one.

Oh! What a disappointment. I'm sorry to have given a nudge towards this event when it seems to have been a bit of a letdown. I personally didn't go because i am happy with my GRS system. Not only that, I am financially challenged at the moment and couldn't justify travel expenses never mind a new system.
Sorry again guys and gals. I really thought this would have been a good day out for you.

Thanks Silverchip, however after reviewing the website and videos I don't think it is for me.
