We take intellectual property seriously
Each of our angled gravers, angled collets and angled extensions are marked with the patent number and patent pending. This provides potential infringers constructive notice of our patent rights, which means that in a patent infringement lawsuit, damages can be awarded for infringement that took place before the lawsuit was filed or the infringer was given actual notice of the infringement, such as, a warning letter. In other words, the longer the infringement, the greater the damages an infringer can be assessed.
Potential infringers should also be aware that in cases of willful infringement, a court may increase the damages up to three times. A court may also order a permanent injunction. Link - More information about intellectual property infringement.Infringers will typically argue that the invention was already known but this line of argument is very difficult to support. Quote from An insight on the US Patent system by Michael Artemis "Correspondingly, although someone may claim to have seen what they consider the same invention years ago, if the alleged prior invention was not documented or publicly available, it may not qualify as prior art with respect to the invention. When the Patent Office issues a patent, it is cloaked with a VERY powerful presumption of validity."
If you should see someone or a company copying the angled graver technology on the internet or social media, you may copy and post this notice and a link to AngledGraver.com. Thank you for understanding.
Benefits of high angle of attack: Benefits
of low angle of attack: |
AngleCollet™ The handpieces picture in the photo are the BenchJewel ArtGraver at the top and a collet nosed burl handle PalmControl. The bottom two handpieces in the photo are foot controlled collet nosed Classics with AngleCollet that is rotated opposite to illustrate a high angle of attack and low angle of attack. Two adapters are also in the photo which are used on long collets. Similar to the reversing manual AngleGraver these collets are angled and are reversible. With the AngleCollet the handle does not need to be reversed to switch from low angle to high angle of attack. In order to change between the two modes pull out the AngleCollet, rotate and reinsert it. Reversing AngleCollets are available with and without
offset. |
PalmGraver™ Short Reversing AngleCollet™ Long Reversing AngleCollet™ We do not have other brand engravers to test, but jewelers have reported that our long collets fit other brand engravers. However we do not guarantee they will fit other brand engravers . Adapter for Long Collets The adapter is for use with long collets in the BenchJewel Graver, Classic and Classic PalmControl that have a collet nose. The adapter can be moved from one long collet to another long collet. Link - Sharpening Templates for high angle of attack points For straight collets visit this page on the AirGraver.com site.

Sharpening templates for points that work well with a high angle of attack. Two for high angle attack are the 116 Universal Point and the Flat/Knife template. They are made in three heights. Extra "High Angle" Thanks to Engraving Artist Marius Mellebye who drew the image on the left to help visualize the height differences of three templates for an example. |

Most of the V templates that have a uniform parallel heel can be utilized for a bulio template by simply not placing the heel on it which is done with V part of the large template. Link to template page So skip that step while sharpening and it will make point dig right in for making a dot or dash. Information about bulino can be found at EngravingSchool.com. |
