I have had very little time using a universal tip on a push graver and I was trying not to make a mess with it. This is the first time I’ve used a power graver, the PalmControl changes everything, when I first tried it out after a few cuts I knew it would do anything so I designed and transferred this on a 2 inch square by 3/8th inch 1018 plate. The ribbon design is about 1/8th inch wide, I have made no adjustments to the PC, I’ve been so astounded by this little miracle. So if you are wondering if the PC can help, all I can say is yes, I believe it will make me an engraver in a fraction of the time it would ordinarily take, I feel like I’m on my way.

Well on your way I'd say, you didn't butcher anything. That looks good, especially that confusing celtic stuff. Good job.
