Been getting my head around the Rocketronics Els today because I wanted to make a graver rest for the Pultra 17/70 I am restoring, it could have been a bit better but I am relatively pleased, I would have liked to have less curve but I couldn’t work out what parameters to put into control so if anyone has the same bit of kit and could enlighten me that would be great.

As i already had a base I made for my graver sharpener I decided to use it so it will do both jobs, just the clamp and clamp bolt to make.
