Wink Tungsten piston

Just recieved a tungsten piston from Steve yesterday and have been playing with it. Just to let you all know this adds considerable power to the tool. For background removal and deep relief engraving or just speeding up the process, it is the cats meow.

I Also recieved some m-42 gravers and put them to work on titanium and
15n20 and they worked like a charm, I think I will make them my primary tools.They sped through the titanium with one broken point on a real tight curve but that might have been my fault. They made the 15n20 cut clean and smooth and no tool wear to speak of.

Good tools Steve

Default Re: Tungsten piston

Awesome to know, Ill be upgrading to the tungsten piston when the funding allows...for now the stock one is doing good, but struggling a bit when cutting stainless.

Wink Re: Tungsten piston

When I asked Steve about the differnce he used the analogy of small block versus big block and he was right. alot more power.
