The sharpening fixture is supplied with one set of templates to make a Universal graver point similar to the presharpened graver supplied with each sale of a Classic AirGraver or PalmControl AirGraver handpiece. Additional templates are listed below.

Templates provide a point with a nominal: 45 degree face, 16.5 degree high heel. The face and heel can be changed in the fixture by simply reducing the graver length protruding from the fixture. With all the templates grind more on the point's top taper facets to make a smaller faced point as desired.

Graver polishing Apply diamond compound to the back side of a 1/16" thick steel diamond lap (sold above) and use it for polishing graver facets. When a metal lap is used, some of the diamond will embed itself into the steel preventing it from wiping off. This is called “charging” a lap. A copper lap works well for this too.
