Default Re: To cut Cleanly?

Jim

long heels straight line
short heals curves

i heel at 1mm or so - just enough to see a glint on the side of the graver in the right light.

maybe we should be talking about the relief angle of your heel rather than the length of it. Regardless if you get it too long you will know it the first time you try to cut a curve.
