Default Re: Air Graver for wood?

airgraver works fine for 3d work
I cut coins close to 3d and they are less forgiving than wood.

you can throw any tool into the Airgraver providing you grind down the tang to fit

with a torch and a hammer you can form any shape of gouge or silver solder cut down tools to rod or sq stock to fit the nose piece.

You can go as small as you want using reground dental tools - its a good source of small carbide.

i would recommend trying the carbalt stock to make shavers as it holds an edge like nothing else. Mine were sharpened several years ago....

dawns on me one could take the carbalt gravers and snap them to width, solder them to another piece to make a t shaped graver and shape it as a chisel.

curious - do you know my old partner Bill Shotts he was pretty good with the Netsuke.

Can you please tell me where you found those specs you are wearing in your picture and a bit about them - i be needing such a gadget!!!!
