I stand corrected!
I wasn't at the shop last night, so I couldn't verify the angle.
Now that I can look at the tools, I can officially say that I'm using 140* diamonds for stainless, and 120* for everything else.

Thanks to all the responses.
Since I am diamond dragging pure silver, it looks as if 140* or 150* are in order.
Can anyone recommend a source for quality cutters online?
Thanks.

Several.
We use Artisan, since they are pretty close to us (Dallas, TX).
We've also bought tools from Antares.

Bruce Diamond is another.
Personally I would use a 130*.......lines are finer and you can push a little deeper to get better letter glitter.
Just my thoughts.... we all have them!

In this day and age, I'm surprised neither of the 2 recommended offer online ordering.
I didn't think deeper was better with silver. I thought it would leave burrs.
