The Culet is like a razor blade if it cuts into your fingers. WOOPS!
This bur has little use in the techniques being shown in these pages.
YOU'VE READ IT HERE, AND THIS TECHNIQUE IS A 100% WOW!
This technique of having a bent bur cover holes was taught to me when many of the readers weren't even born.
How would you prepare for this new tool? Use a well-used bur and soften it over a bench torch. and bend it at a 90-degree angle. When you polish the 'tip', heat it RED HOT again just to harden it. Where the tip is hitting the metal, I suggest 'smoothing & polishing' the contact spot. No longer do you need to fill each little hole with solder; you are just moving little layers of metal over each hole.
!RULE OF THIRDS!
A) The bearing should start 1/3rd in from the edge of the claw.
B) The actual bearing should be 1/3rd into the metal.
C) The depth should be 1/3rd from the tip of the claw.
The graver tip should be at a 45-degree angle on the oilstone.
You can see why the Onglette graver is best for cutting into metal. Compare this with the Flat graver.
