116 Lindsay Graver vs 90 degree Cmax bevel
Sorry about the video, I am getting things together. This shows the difference in cuts a graver makes.

BBond-The American Homemade Air Graver
มุมมอง 7807 ปีที่แล้ว
I made an Air Graver out of a Walmart compressor for 30 bucks, by watching Shaun Hughes and Najc videos. It works better than the Chinese GraverMate and its sleek design makes it look like it was made for air graving. WARNING!! Make sure its unplugged so you don't get shocked!! AVISO ELECTRICITY!! Oh and I forgot to mention on top of the piston when you tear it down is a rubber seal, glue it go...
How to fix your Chinese GraverMate when the motor hums but no action
มุมมอง 5K7 ปีที่แล้ว
I diagnosed the Chinese GraverMate, the motor hummed but the shaft was not spinning like it was suppose too. I dismantled the top portion of the air feed cylinder from the shaft that feeds the air and it was just stuck from lack of grease. I was able to fix it but now I have to fix the air leaks. That fix will come with the next video.
The New Homemade Chinese Engraver
มุมมอง 5207 ปีที่แล้ว
Since it will be a few days before I get the technical support for my Chinese engraver so I can fix it, I crafted a homemade one using what I learned from the guy in the UK. It works good. I have been messing with it but haven't really done anything. I have to get some decent engravers, I am using an onglette 2 which is more for fine detail not really good for outlines. Sorry for the sound, it ...
Chinese GraverMate Not Working
มุมมอง 2K7 ปีที่แล้ว
I bought this engraver to see if I wanted to really invest in a real system. I have a 100lbs air compressor hooked up to it, basically the Machine does nothing so I got a 30 dollar tire compressor and made one that actually works.
Try atv forma-gasket
Use form a gasket
Wow I'm glad I watched this. Was able to fix mine
Where do you get the graver? I can’t find them!
Did you stick with it?
Thank you, I almost considered buying one.
forget all this pneumatic nonsense - learn to engraave properly!
Cheap tools are expensive.
I'm more interested in how to get back the money I paid for the same stuff on Ebay.
If your Chinese engraver broke down, that's a good sign, man. It means you deserve better in life.
do not be stupid, better buy an original grs. Fakes have a lot of problems.
I think it's very bad to buy fakes. In this way we support the criminals, while bona fide manufacturers make ends meet.
Please don't call it GraverMach. It has nothing to do with it. I'm allergic to Chinese engravers, they're the dumbest pneumatic engravers I've ever seen.
It’s very naive to buy a fake and hope that it will work fine. There's something wrong with this engraver all the time. Whether the engine doesn't work or the pedal, or the problem with the air and oil supply. There are so many problems in this machine from the very beginning that it makes no sense to buy it.
Just throw it away. What's in the head of a man who buys a fake and hopes that it will work?
If your Chinese engraver breaks down, thank God it didn't burn your house and buy a good engraver!
Primitive junk that isn't worth a dollar
The manufacturer of this engraver should work a lot on the quality, it’s really very bad.
Just through away this piece of metal and buy good quality machine.
It's not professional tool, it's a big disappointment.
Thanks for your video but I should agree with the previous comments. Work with this tool is impossible.
There is no sense to repair the chinese engraver because of absence of a stable system.And It doesn't make sense to finish this, because the costs and time are the same as if you buy the original graversmith. And it will work for ten years without breakdowns.
I wasted my money , never again will I buy anything Chinese.
There is no sense to invest in this device. The cost will be much more expensive. I spent only time, nerves and money.
I worked half a year on this chinese, there was no way to buy a normal one. So, i think that it's impossible to adapt to this unpredictable apparatus. The pen heated up and generally stopped beating. Finally I bought the original. American graver works without interruptions.
The engraver is primitive and probably more suitable for the most beginning jewelers. I was attracted by the price of the device, I thought that it would work fine, but the frequency of blows was completely violated, air beats too noisily, but engraves even in max mode too weakly. Would be right to call it scratcher of metal but not engraver.
Your so boring..why do you make so much snacking noises with your mouth?
thanks for the video!
It is a system invented in Russia, Sergei Waltman in 2014. waltman.iz-zolota.ru/
Yep I think it was invented by a Russian. I got my ideal from a Brit. and modified it a bit. There is another guy I am not sure what his name was he has built a cool system from another idea.
Thanks for explaining. I bought 2 of these and they both leak air in the same spot as yours. It leaks so much that the air compressor can't even keep up and it will constantly run just to keep 20 psi in the tank. I'm going to take mine apart again and see if I can fix it. Thanks for the vid!
You should just take the handpieces and get a 30 dollar compressor from walmart and seal the top of the piston. Watch Shaun Huges video for a reference, hell it works better and is a lot better than the chinese crap. I had the same problem with mine, if you buy another regulator it might help but I liked the homemade one a lot better it actually works and is silent.
Brett Bond is the handpiece worth buying? I’ve been looking at making my own machine, the machine looks simple enough to make but the handpiece not as simple unless I want a screwdriver mod or something pretty basic. I can get a Chinese handpiece that looks to be the same your machine came with for 25 bucks or so. I’m glad I seen this video, I was thinking of just buying a whole machine since they are fairly inexpensive but I’ll pass on that and make my own once I get a handpiece figured out.
Brett Bond i have a question. when you said to seal the top of the piston did you mean the piston inside the hand piece?
what are u using for velocity control ?
interesting Brett, struggling at the moment myself with my home made toolsteel gravers, may be time to bite the bullet, spend some money and see what the rolls royces can do, or is it just me?
Your homemade machine is awesome! Yeah, I am happy with that graver, it was like night and day. The other graver I was using tore the metal more or less. Now I am struggling to try and control the lindsay as it cuts. It takes off on me. I have a pedal but I am experimenting with a hand control method. Covering the holes to slow the pulse, trying to remember to cover holes and spin the vise while moving is quite the task. Try the Lindsay, you will be happy with it. Thanks for watching, I hope to have a better recording next time.
That trooper on a coin would be worth something,I could recognize it. It's 90% practice. My first engraving would have made good tiny cheese graters. Your graver speed sounded good,but you may have to much gap in the piston. If you can see an jerky movement in the graver tip,then it's probably to much for beginning and getting good detail. I adjust my own down until the ball stops moving,then open it until it feel good.
I agree with you, I was thinking that myself, I am still experimenting with that, I have some 8mm ball bearings that I am going to start playing with. I think my piston is too heavy. I appreciate the tip, sorry about the bad volume. Thank you for the comment.
The sounds OK. I couldn't take the shaky camera until the end. Interesting,it seem the lighter piston actually hit better form me. The difference between using a big hammer and a smaller one.
hey, lovely vid
Thanks for watching, I am going to get web cam, I have to make do with what I have right now which isn't much lol.
