PC on PC
Just an update on 'Simon's' PC which I am borrowing until mine arrives :D
I've just started the rest of the carving on the gun in my last post, using this time Steve's PC. It is a big improvement on this work compared with a push graver which needs quite a lot of pressure and back pressure to control the cut. I have found that by slightly pulling back on the stroke collar it takes just the right amount of metal away, and to be honest, is a pleasure to use! Phil

Re: PC on PC
Welcome to the PC Club!
I too use the pull back technique when I need to do something specific and "touchy". Amazing of all the control and types of control in one unit, isn't it? If you think that is good - just wait one month after using it.
