It can be set at a short back swing or longer one. The PSI flow through the foot pedal or PalmControl controls the power and speed within a given stroke length setting. It is similar to gears in a car. Set it in first gear (short stroke) and you have good low end, delicate control. Or set it in fifth gear and you can cut much deeper than in first gear. It can still cut delicate lines in fifth gear but it is easier to cut delicate lines in first gear. Continuing this analogy of gears, the Artisan is fixed in 3rd gear.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the details.

So can I order the regular piston and tungston piston separately and use it in a single Artisan hand piece, right ? the piston goes in the hand piece and I can change the piston as and when my requirments, right ? I'm sorry if I'm asking the same questions over and over again. But I cant help it. I have never seen one for real and this is kind a "leap of faith".

And, a classic hand piece give me added advantage in stone setting, right ?
