How to make a punch for gold inlay?
Hello everyone. I would like to make a proper punch for gold inlay but I have a few questions. Should I shape a square steel blank graver? Or should I start from a 1.5 mm round? What is the appropriate tip for a punch that causes the least amount of texture? As you offer your advice, please keep in mind that all honing and sharpening will be done by hand using diamond stones.
I also had a second question not quite related: What is the maximum mm circumference that can fit into the Classic AirGraver's nose?
Thank you.
