I think everyone on this forum gets excited about faster, better, cheaper and easier ways to make circuit boards. So any questions asked are not meant to doubt, but just wanting to know more.

Thanks for the detailed description. When I had done my experimenting with a graver it was with 1 oz copper clad. I can see how having .5oz would make the cutting easier. I may even have some. I will have to check my stock and maybe do another graver test.

I think every method has its pluses and minus's. You just have to decide whats appropriate for your requirements. Your experimentation shows another way to make a pcb and provides another option.
