How to Carve Thin Deep Grooves?

["John Halter" <halter@zzzzzzzzzz>]

Hello Bill,

I recently worked on a piece where I needed to make small groves.  I used
small diamond wheels (sometimes called cut off blades).  The first one is a
3/4" mini-wheel, fits into your foredom or dremmel and cuts a very thin
line.  These blades are fragile and you need to be careful not to bind them
or they can break.  The second is a 1" electroplated diamond wheel that fits
into a 1/4" collet die grinder.  This blade is thicker and leaves a cut
around your desired .12.  I used these on Portuguese Pink which is rather
hard and found them to be very versatile and fast.

Regards,
John Halter
