Re: Airgraver foot controller do I need it ?
The tungsten piston is helpful for stippling as the impacts are slower and harder at a longer stroke setting.
There are several methods for stippling with the PalmControl :
Method 1: Hold the tool like a jewelers screwdriver and press on the handle with your index finger while holding the point loose on the work.
Method 2: Turn the idle up so that the tool is running all the time.
Method 3: Disconnect the air line off the back of the PalmControl handle and attach it direct to the body. Now adjust the regulator so that the tool is running continually. This is good because you get the same sized dot all the time.
Method 4: Disconnect the air line off the back of the PalmControl handle and attach it to the body of the tool. Now connect the other end of the line to the foot pedal controller. In other words, we can operate the PalmControl with the foot pedal too. A foot control with dual regulators for an AirGraver is $249.
If there is a lot of stippling to do I prefer method #3 for the palmcontrol and for the foot pedal Classic. If there is just a little stippling to do I'll use method #1.
