Default Re: Mike Dubber "Speitzer" Graver Point Template set

Yes, finding out a long heel will cut very straight is an early discovery for many. I don't think it would matter much what point you would use for such a 'trick' the heel will hold the point firmly inline, I just don't think Mike is suggesting doing so.

I do not understand what you mean by 'ideal for cutting straight lines' Mike did not say this, he has indicated the point is very controllable and versatile and he uses it to cut straight lines. He has said the point can be ground to match the job, there may be a long heel or other grind to help with just straight lines I just don't see the need, if you have control and a line to follow why would you bother? Do you cut a great deal of long straight lines in your work?
