It's a bit wider cut than a standard diamond graver, making it good for most applications and if necessary, you could use multi-line fonts to fatten up the lettering.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 5 Mar 2007 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a6093_16"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6093.16">#16</a>]<br /> 5 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6093.15">#15</a>] 5 Mar 2007</p> Being that I don't own photograve :-( , it will probably be my WTC sample to start. <br /> <br /> Talk about detail, you can almost count the windows on the towers!! 8-O <hr /><a name="a6093_17"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6093.17">#17</a>]<br /> 5 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6093.16">#16</a>] 5 Mar 2007</p> I don't know how PhotoGraV would benefit a rotary engraving project, unless you were saying it's a better job for a laser engraver. <hr /><a name="a6093_18"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6093.18">#18</a>]<br /> 5 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6093.17">#17</a>] 5 Mar 2007</p> I don't know either.... just thought it might give more detail somehow.
