Default Re: To cut Cleanly?

Glad to here your taking good care of those super fine accurate engraving tools. :D
As the old saying goes, "Don't force it,,,use a bigger hammer."

I had to do the same thing after knocking the fixture onto the floor, point down, the Carbalt graver didn't break, and the jaws got knock out of true.
Really the graver not breaking was the real surprise, as hard as the Carbalt is and being long and thin, it really should have snapped.
To do that much damage to the fixture and not break the graver, say's a lot about the choice of alloys used, they sure work for me, thanks Steve.

Good Luck

Tim
