Customer Question :
Hi all
I found you through my subscription with Clear Mind Casting in Canada. I am a silversmith and a master machinist of over 45 years. So I can appreciate finely made tools. I have a question: is your pneumatic palm foot controlled engraver suitable for bezel setting stones? I set a lot of turquoise and shell which can be delicate. Also how is shipping to Canada? What methods do you ship with? Can I only use your Sq graver blank Material or do other brands fit ? I am brand new to engraving. I don’t want to invest a ton of money. I want a more basic set up that can engrave and help with bezel setting. please advise

Hi ,
I am glad you’re interested with my engraving tools.
Yes my foot control and palm control engraver both can using for stone setting. I was practicing stone myself too – I am almost using engraver for small things as watch dial engraving. Stone setting using simpler but many times repeat cutting lines than engraving.
If you using as the tiny hammer for benzel setting fracture material as turquoise and shell just need setting lower using pressure is ok – my engraver had quick and short stroke not afraid it too heavy as Badeco hammer head.
My quickchange is 3.5mm hole for 2.35mm square graver and you and using any smaller graver OD smaller than 3.5mm no problems.
I am using shipping company and they will using DHL or FedEx depends which cheaper each country. I think they will using FedEx to send to Canada and USA.
Choice the engraver depends the thing you arm to engraving. The foot control engraver is more comfort for big thing engraving as the motor engine parts to Zippo or knife. The palm control engraver is easier to be familiar because the way of control is combined of Eyes-Hands and better for small to tiny engraving as watch dial or pave setting.
