Default Re: How to make a punch for gold inlay?

Hi Ray,
You mention texturing the face of your inlay punch with a file. What is the purpose of the texture? Is it to prevent your tool from slipping on a round surface, such as a firearm barrel or pistol cylinder, or does it cause the inlay metal to take hold on the underside more aggressively?
