Re: Cheating ?
It certainly takes away alot of the learning curve of muscle memory, although some is a bonus.
So much easier to make nice smooth cuts without the stopping and starting of handpushing which also eliminates those slight angle changes and tip breakages.
Having said that, you still need alot of skill to catch the big boys, the plus side is you know the tool is correct (with a template sharpened graver) and nothing but alot of practice and design understanding is needed.
