I am aware of those cutters being used to duplicate statues and the like, but I don't recall seeing any old time firearms engraving that was done that way, that is, cut with a revolving cutter rather than with a burin. In the modern era, a lot of "engraving" has been done with rotary cutters as well as with machines like the Gravermeister.

In my few attempts at engraving, I found a basic problem. I can make marks in steel, but engraving is an art and no tool can make me an artist.
