Default Re: how much will it run me?

Try Metalliferous.com, they have just about everything and the prices are very competitive, and sometimes you can catch some really good deals. I am not a professional engraver and only active for about 2 years but like everyone says you can not go wrong with Steves tools. I splurged about a year ago ans got an Artisan foot control and it made an imediate positive impact on my work. My budget is tight also my other major expense was my Pepe vise, the smallest one, and Steve's templates along with diamond stones and of course the gravers. all are adequete formy level of work and knowledge. Also found a pancake compressor on sale at Harbour frieght for $39, its loud but serves the purpose. Of course the most valuable tool/resourse is this forum, these guys are the best and ever sharingnwith their vast knowledge.
