Are you wanting to get into engraving? Check out the new system by Smart Pro. I will walk you through the machine, how it works and what I really think about it. This is a 2-in-1 system with both engraving and a micromotor.

Nice job, Melissa! Definitely something to think about and a sweet price point. Thank you.

@MelissaMuir 10 ай бұрын

Like I said, it is an alternative to think about. You do have to have some patience and give it a bit more time, but I was able to get some very nice results. The key was to have a very sharp, polished graver and good control.

Melissa Jim great job. I really liked your video and I was wondering are you going to be at Vegas?

I'm curious if you've used the lion punch forge hammer handpiece graver adapter, and if so, how does this compare?

@MelissaMuir 10 ай бұрын

Yes. I have used it. I prefer this machine over that one. But they are different. This one I don’t have to fight my flexshaft cord and such.

Я так понимаю этот аппарат работает по системе Вальтмона?

Melissa, thank you for this review! I have been looking for something like this to help with my stone setting. I am getting ready to order, but I need help finding the extra graver handle or options for the gravers. Does the complete mean it comes with both graver handles? Also, where do I order replacement gravers?

@MelissaMuir 6 ай бұрын

You would need to check with whichever company you are purchasing it from as to which handpiece is in the box. I do not know of any that come with both of them. The round cMax gravers from GRS will work in this machine.

@eviaballard2682 - Gesswein has the second hand piece the “Heavy-Duty H2 Handpiece for SmartPro Air Do X”. This sturdy, heavy, handpiece has a broader body and utilizes a heavier spring and piston for applying the extra pressure and control needed for engraving on hard metals. Hope this helps!! Happy Smithing.

It’s crazy amazing that it has the compressor built in! WOW! Thanks for this review!

Does it overheat if used for hours on end?

@MelissaMuir 10 ай бұрын

Good question. It has not overheated on me. And I have certainly used it for many hours at one time.

Yesterday afternoon arrived my air do x.. I’ve tried but it hasn’t the strenght to do the work that is show in the video.. I’ve tried to engrave a little piece of soft copper, and nothing! This is a beautyfull machine, but it can’t engrave and its ridicolous because its the only work that has to do.. i’m really dissappointed because i put 1100€ in the 🚽.

@MelissaMuir 5 ай бұрын

Make sure the handpiece is screwed together tightly. I have found that if it is open a little bit I lose power.

@@manuelbenetazzo6541 there are two handpieces available for the machine. You may have the lighter one. I found that the lighter one was fairly light weight. Good for shading, but not deep engraving. Perhaps reach out to who you bought it from, or SmartPro and see if you can get the larger/heavier handpiece.

@manuelbenetazzo6541 5 ай бұрын

@@MelissaMuir smart pro support team didn’t tell me about this 2° handpiece.. i know that there are 2 different pistons, but i’ve tried every combination and it doesn’t engrave like this video😭 Can you link me this handpiece, please?

@johnsmalldridge6356 10 ай бұрын

I purchased the air do x in hope that it was a good alternative to a GRS or Lindsay but it lacks power. It lacked the power to cut deeply or hammer over medium gold bezels. Be smart and don’t buy smartpro. Save up a little more and buy a GRS or Limdsay system.

@MelissaMuir 10 ай бұрын

It most certainly is not on the same level as the GRS and Lindsay, as I stated. I agree, sadly, the smaller handpiece does lack the power I would prefer. However, when no wing to the larger handpiece it did hammer over quite thick bezels for me. I wonder if you have the original handpiece that is smaller and lighter. They have come out with a heavier one that is much stronger. And that one, I found to be quite adequate for the stronger operations. It is like the difference between the GRS monarch vs the 901.

@johnsmalldridge6356 10 ай бұрын

@@MelissaMuir the compressor can only produce minimal power as it has no storage tank for higher pressure. The GRS and Lindsay use larger compressors with tanks and regulators for a reason. On top of that is limited parts availability and warranty from a foreign country. To me it was a waste of time and money. To you maybe it’s worth it or maybe you’re getting something for promoting the product. It did look like you were working with softer metals in the video. Either way that’s fine I understand.

@MelissaMuir 10 ай бұрын

@@johnsmalldridge6356 yes. They are valid points. Regardless if whether or not I get anything for my review, I have always been truthful and honest in them. And yes, I was working with softer metals. This is not a machine I would need if I was going to be a full time engraver with it. But it would get me through if I needed to do stone setting or a little here and there.

Another cheaply made item that Gesswein have put their name to, they are systematically destroying their reputation.

@MelissaMuir 10 ай бұрын

I am sorry to hear you feel that way. While the machine isn’t a GRS, it is one that can serve a need in the industry. Gesswein isn’t that only one that carry this. Most of the top companies are.

@pijnto 10 ай бұрын

I feel that way because i bought one some time ago, as you would be aware is is just a generic Chinese produced item that Companies such as Gesswein put their name on mine broke down, and to cut a long story short, I was told it will be at six months to get spare parts, it is a throw away item, false economy, buy quality buy once @@MelissaMuir
