StevenB Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I was recently struggling with my glass engraving - took a few runs over before it cut into the glass properly. Bought a new cutter (from Mastergrave) - works fine first time. Lesson learnt (again) don't be a skinflint with cutters, they DO wear out, and think about not how old a cutter is, but how much it's earnt you in the 3/6/9 months you've had it!

kev Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 For the record, the cutters I supply don't come from Mastergrave. They are simply sourced from the same place that Mastergrave buy theirs from. Glad your cutters are OK now, Rick. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 lol kev, my post was badly put, my intention was to say that it was the cutters supplied by mastergrave that were causing me the problems, if you source yours from the same place then how unlucky am i to get two from them that were next to useless? rick.

kev Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 sorry Rick - a bit of confusion reading your post! Maybe Mastergrave don't buy their cutters from our supplier. I have dealt with our our supplier for nearly 15 years now and have never had any complaints. Glad to have helped you, let me know if you need anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phill Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Kev, i'm interested in your point about glass cutters. we use mastergraves composite rotating diamond and never had problems. But you know of a better one? I think we pay about £45 for ours. I could do with a glass cutter that performs cleanly at nearly full speed. Is there such a cutter? I have the mastergrave universal.

kev Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Phil, I supply a faceted diamond cutter, in many different sizes and prices, to suit nearly all manual and computerised engravers. I will be glad to help contact signs@charlesbirch.com with your individual requirements.

kobblers Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 there is a marked difference between blatant advertising and getting asked by a member for your help fella, i don't think you should worry on that score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
