Introducing the New C-Max Carbide 1.8mm Round Shank Graver Blanks
With input from some of the world's foremost metal engravers, GRS has developed a new graver blank, available in C-Max Carbide. Many engravers prefer a tool shaped and sharpened to a fine-to-medium size, making traditionally-sized gravers less economical of materials and time.
The 1.8 mm round (0.071") graver is the result of careful testing and feedback from a number of professional engravers. The tool is small enough to allow quick sharpening with less waste, yet strong enough for a majority of fine metal engraving jobs. The round shape not only limits wasted tool metal, it is also more comfortable to use.
For even more convenience, sharpening with the new Easy Graver sharpening fixture (Otto Frei part number103.700) is highly recommended to be used with a Diamond Hone system. Also consider the newly developed QC Tool Holder for 1.8 mm Tools (Otto Frei part number 104.852) is made specifically to hold small tools like this new blank, providing the highest level of accuracy for tool holding while sharpening with diamond hones. You can also now sharpen C-Max Carbide by hand using the new Swiss Ceragloss diamond polishing wheels and a flex shaft or a micromotor, available in medium cut blue (Otto Frei part number 110.107) and fine polish yellow (Otto Frei part number 110.113). use a special diamond polishing wheels.
About C-Max
Years of development have now produced a tungsten carbide graver with the right blend of hardness and toughness for hand engraving and stone setting applications. C-Max achieves a metallurgical balance like no other carbide. For years, engravers and jewelers have used other carbide gravers that break easily or don’t hold a fine edge. Now, this frustration is gone forever, thanks to C-Max carbide. Try these tools and you’ll do better work in noticeably less time. The C-Max gravers are available in a variety of pre-shaped and blank styles.
