Carbide wheel or hand tools, it is still hand checkering and requires skill to do competently.

Errr... ahhh, right. NO machine involved. At least one that makes any part of the job easier. I'm convinced.
And maybe 100 years from now, some collector will point to a pattern on your DHE stock and brag, "This here checkering was cut with a full power MMC carbide wheel, not a machine"!
Count me out...
PS: It's YOUR stock. Do what you want.
