Thanks everyone for the comments on the nickel. I really enjoy carving hobo nickels and have been doing so since 2001.
Carl, I have a gravermax, I broke the Gravermax handpiece and decided to go for the palm control classic after trying Frank Hodne's (norsksea on this forum). That was 2 years ago. Been saving up since, and my wife said to just get it..... I am really impressed with the tool and how nice it cuts through the nickels Im carving. Billzack thanks for the comment too Im really trying to inprove the quality of my coin carving.
