Default Re: Is the Airgraver the best to buy?

Hi Jim,

Here's my short take on the value of the airgraver....on the I own both the GRS Gravermiester and the Lindsay Artisan (foot control):

I'm currently deployed overseas with the military, my Lindsay system came with me, the GRS stayed home.

In my opinion Lindsay system is the better of the two. It cuts smoother lines, has better control with the foot pedal and is a much smoother (and quieter) system.

I still use my Gravermiester for heavier impact work, it's a brute at large background removal (particularly in steel), but for detail and day to day engraving I much prefer the Lindsay. I plan on upgrading to the palm control in the future. Bang for the buck, it's a great system - in the end you get what you pay for. Steve has created a remarkable tool, and he is a very helpful guy.

TOOLS:

Number one on my list is a good engravers ball, I would be lost without mine, regardless of the cutting tool I was using.

Other than that, I'm sure there are others that can advise you on additional tools.

I need to run for the night. Hope this was helpful, good luck with the engraving!

Cheers!
