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

BOB,
Circulation returned overnight to the toes...so lets forget about it.

I just re-did the point very carefully and no matter if the heel is long or short, or at what angle I go at the metal, in a circle or curve, it still drags the bottom rib that the smaller template made. It is tempting to just go at that rib with a diamond file and round it off. So I better sleep on it, almost eleven here now. I do have one question, read the quote. What do you mean by less angle? Higher or lower with the graver? I am running with the graver up, as it cuts into the metal there, but with it down, it just glides on the bottom rib and doesn't actually cut. I can bring it down, but that means a thinner heel, or? And holding the graver up higher is due to the heel being longer...or? Clear me on this. But it still drags in the corners. Thanks!
