Are this suitable for copperplate calligraphy?

Yes. This is exactly the type of nib you want to use for copperplate style. Specially if you want very thin lines, which look more elegant but work better for small projects, like wedding invitations or so. And if you use them with the right paper and clean them cautiously they last quite a while.

Yes, and it works better on PVC pipes,based on other peoples answers (I have copper 1/2 and it works great)

It will emboss thin metal sheets, like something you would use on a scrapbook page. I don't know of an embossing folder that would be strong enough to emboss a thicker sheet of metal. I have recently seen sizzix dies to cut metal for jewelry.

you would have to ask an engraver that question. I just bought these for home use.

Hi there! I have not yet, but I was told by a few folks around town they could absolutely engrave on copper. :) Hope that helps!

Well, I have used Sissix and Spellbinders. Sometimes you doi need to add some extra shims but it does work. I really does make this easy. The large plate sizes are good because you can use several sizes of dies and embossing folders. You can also place several dies at one (depending on their sizes). I really like mine. -You can watch videos on YouTube for use ideas.

No, I haven't used it for metal embossing, but have used it for embossing paper such as card stock and water color paper. I didn't seem to have any problem. It could be the differences for the surface, the amount of pressure needed to emboss metal instead of paper, or the thickness of the metal that is being embossed. Also some people my just need larger tools than others. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

I want to engrave stainless steel dog tags with a few phrases , would it look good enough to sell using this tool?

Most definitely YES. Spellbinder dies are awesome! They work great with the Cuttlebug. You will need a C plate. A, C and B plates are used together for cutting. A, B and B plates are used for embossing. If you emboss with the spellbinders dies, you will also need a tan mat. If you just emboss with an embossing folder, you just need the A and two B plates. Also a good tip when using really intricate dies is to place wax paper on your die first, then your card stock. It will make for an easier release. Sometimes if it doesn't cut through all the way, place a small shim (little piece of card stock) just over the area that didn't cut and run it through again, not over the entire area. The Alphabet dies are great and I didn't need to put wax paper in at all. They release just fine. For a wonderful website to learn all kinds of card making, go to card-making-magic.com. Christina Griffiths has all kinds of wonderful tutorials. You will learn a lot and she is very easy to follow. Good Luck and Happy Crafting!

Not sure, have just used it on copper. Would be afraid it might hurt silver.

I suggest checking with the seller if that embosser have a removable stamp that can be switched with this one. If it is removable, it may not fill this design though. . .

No it is not for Heavy metal ! You can do thin sheets only , like copper or silver

I didn't use,it on brass or copper but it works very well on silver. The label doese't say anything about brass or copper. Thanks,Jimmy

Yes. I have used Flitz on copper, as well as many other ferrous and non ferrous metals and it will bring them to a mirror polish easily. However, if the corrosion (green powdery residue on copper) is heavy, you may want to use some fine steel wool to remove the bulk of it first.

Can't answer that according to your needs; I don't draw! Use it for fine script in my journal, letters, etc. Seems a very fine nib to me.

I dont see why not. You might need to anneal them first to make the metal softer and easier to stamp.

Works well on solid brass. Be careful with brass plated items due to the thinness of plating.
