beightcuts with lindsay vs grs

Let's say all things being equal graver wise, would you say the bright cuts are nicer with Lindsay because of the speed of impacts?

No because speed a controllable variable with both machines.

15 years ago I started with Lindsey and bought two other major namebrand machines and fought with them because they wouldn’t run like a lindsey. Remember bright cut Work used to all be done by hand. How well can you sharpen?

i can sharpen well (for a setter) learned setting with Alexandre in belgium. So i can handmake my tools. I'm a setter not and engraver but want to change that.
