- | I used the spring-loaded scribe to scratch a couple of these in silver and enameled them with less ugly results, but I was not happy with these pieces (and in fact earlier this year the enamel cracked off of the one I actually mounted in a setting). The marks were just scratches. Fairly deep scratches admittedly, but a "metal smushed out of the way" groove lacked the reflectiveness of a cut face. And I kept breaking the carbide points off of the tips I was using. This burnished, shiny cut face is, BTW, one reason why you can't really do this kind of work on a router that has a rotating cutting bur or mill. | + | I used the spring-loaded scribe to scratch a couple of these in silver and enameled them with less ugly results, but I was not happy with these pieces (and in fact earlier this year the enamel cracked off of the one I actually mounted in a setting).
