Once you include two-way shipping, aren't you just as well off buying a new diamond?<br /> <br /> I don't know. I've never had a diamond relapped. <hr /><a name="a4573_7"></a><p><b>From: gingem</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.7">#7</a>]<br /> 10 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> I do it all of the time and I use Antares. I always stock about 20 or more bits having built them up over the years. I send them back like 12 at a time and I'm pretty sure it's only $7-8.00 to resharpen. I also have them cone the tips so that when working on curved surfaces you can engrave further along the cylinder without the bit touching. I do a lot of cylindrical work up to 14.0" at the moment. Thinking of going larger. I love all of you guys with the lasers because all of the shops around send their crazy work to me. <hr /><a name="a4573_8"></a><p><b>From: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.8">#8</a>]<br /> 10 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.2">#2</a>] 10 Aug 2006</p> <p>I just got off the phone with Fred at Q1, and ordered (2) each of the 120* and 140* cutters. That should give me everything I need to make it through the next year.</p> <p>We do a fair amount of engraving on stainless steel data plates, so I'm going to relegate my existing (dull) 120* tools to only doing these. Since these plates don't need precision engraving, that should work out fine.</p> <p>I'll now be able to do the "finer" work on softer material with the new 120*'s, and use the 140* tools for "finer" work on hardened / stainless steel.</p> <p>Thanks again for the help!</p><hr /><a name="a4573_9"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.9">#9</a>]<br /> 10 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.8">#8</a>] 10 Aug 2006</p> <p>Cody, </p> <p>You might want to order at least one 90* for working on pens and other thin, curved items as it will let you go further around the barrel without landing on the item due to the width of the 120*.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 10 Aug 2006 by UNCLESTEVE</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4573.1">1-4</a>  5-9</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
