GRS C-Max Burin Graver and Handle Kit

Description

This GRS Burin is made of C-Max Tungsten Carbide Alloy, a grade of steel that has the ability to hold a sharp edge for an incredibly long time. It’s perfect for hand engraving, especially intaglio print making. The graver is made from a 0.125″ (3.17 mm) diameter round blank approximately 3″ (75 mm) long. The 35° face angle is relieved by a 15° face that makes sharpening easier (less material to remove). The sides are also thinned with 2.5° relief faces. The heel features two 12° surfaces that form a 100° included V-point that is slightly wider than a traditional square graver. A 90° angle has been ground into the top of the burin, making it easy to secure in the handle and in most graver sharpening fixtures, including all GRS fixtures . The GRS graver handle allows you to adjust the length of the burin using the included hex wrench.

Graver Basics

Unless otherwise noted, all gravers come pre-shaped with a ground cutting face. Gravers must be sharpened before use. Sharpening can be done manually with a stone or automated with a motorized hone.

GRS C-Max GRS C-Max gravers are made from a specially formulated tungsten carbide alloy for a great blend of hardness and toughness. Although more brittle than other steel alloys, C-Max gravers stay sharp much longer.

GRS C-Max gravers can only be sharpened with diamond abrasives.
