Re: pedal or palm control?
I debated mainly over the cost between pedal and palm. I did go with the PC, and I'm glad I did. While I'm not experienced at engraving, I do a LOT of flex-shaft work with a pedal, so I understand how it works. Your foot and hand learn to talk to each other, and it's a comfortable thing. But the PalmControl is truly a marvel, and I haven't had the slightest difficulty in making clean, bright, and even cuts from the very first. I can taper out very easily, and while the popping out was harder at first, it too is coming along fine after what is really only a few days of serious practice.
Like any fine tool, it's worth the extra $$ IMO. But the upgrade option is a good one as well.
