Indeed. Pete is quite correct. A single flute cutter is most often used.

See Ebay ..search terms Gorton Cutter or Gorton Engraver followed by
engraving cutter

Its likely Iggy can find cutters cheaper at some of his auctions or from
some of his contacts from the auctions.

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned

the subject." Grey Ghost
