Jay: I too am a jeweler of almost 50 years. I love good tools that do many different jobs faster and makes the bench work better. You look at what you need to buy with GRS and what you need to buy with Lindsay. But the great thing is you do not need a compressor with Lindsay. A co2 will do the job, and you can take it over to the jewerly bench any time you want to do some bright cutting on setting. I started with GRS and think there equipment is really good. I went with Lindsay a long time ago because the classic just fit my hand better. I didn't need 4 different gravers on the bench to one job. If I was you, I would give the GRS equipment a try and then call Steve and get a classic sent to you to try. Lindsay is one great guy to work with and will give you the best of service and suggestions for this engraving stuff. Remember you are talking to a master engraver when you talk to Steve. Jack
