The difference in the Artisan and Classic?
What is the difference between the Artisan and the Classic I see there is a big difference in price but don't find a lot of information on the benefits of one over the other.
I'm going to get myself in deep with ether one I buy as I have not even tried hand engraving yet but am determined to learn  . I don't see myself upgrading to a palm control so is there other benefits besides the palm control upgradeable aspect of the Classic over the Artisan.Thanks for the help, Kevin

Re: The difference in the Artisan and Classic?
The difference between the Classic and Artisan is the stroke collar. The stroke collar on the Classic provides the power of several sized handpieces in one. It is similar to setting the back swing of a hammer hitting a punch. It can be set at a short back swing or longer one. The PSI flow through the foot pedal or PalmControl controls the power and speed within a given stroke length setting. Think of it similar to gears in a car. Set it in first gear (short stroke) and you have good low end delicate control... or set it in fifth gear and you can cut much deeper than in first gear. We can still cut delicate lines in fifth gear but it is easier to cut delicate lines in first gear. If thinking about this analogy with a car, then the Artisan is fixed in 3rd gear.

Re: The difference in the Artisan and Classic?
I like the car with lots of gears
And I would say that the Classic has a stepless gear.

Re: The difference in the Artisan and Classic?
Just sold my Hamilton watch to buy a engraver I want to get started engraving!!!
I have one more dumb question, if I go with the Artisan over the Classic to save a little money as it is tight right now, is the Artisan still a nice step above the GRS Gravemaster? Kevin
