An insight on the United States Patent system and the Lindsay Graver Point Patent by Michael Artemis

Note: Traditional 110, 120 and 130 degree gravers do exist. They are described in the prior art section of the patent. However, the patented point with the relieving cutting edge is different and will cut with less drag. The point can be utilized on narrow points under 90 degrees as well as the wider points.

The Uniform-Parallel point™ is similar to having two flat graver points joined together to form a V. While engraving, lean it to one side or the other and it will cut wide like a flat point. This makes the point versatile and allows a person to vary the width of the cut from thin to thick easily.

The engraving to the right would have been difficult if not impossible to execute well without this point. Being able to vary the width of the cut using one point to create fine banknote lines and wide lines gives the artist the ability to express himself easily.

One pre-sharpened Carbalt graver with this point is included with each customer's first purchase of an AirGraver handpiece. The sharpening system easily grinds this point, as well.
