Versatile Square Graver Profile
The square graver is one of the most versatile graver profiles for hand engraving. Its geometry can be sharpened to create different cutting characteristics, allowing the engraver to adapt the tool to a particular material, engraving style, or application.
The GRS 022-341 provides a useful starting point for engravers who want to customize their tool geometry rather than purchasing a fully finished graver with a fixed profile.
Ideal for Background Removal
The 2 mm square profile provides a practical cutting width for background removal and clearing material around engraved designs. The tool can be sharpened to suit the desired cutting action and used to efficiently remove larger areas of background material.
Fine-Line Engraving and Shading
The 022-341 can also be prepared for fine-line engraving and shading techniques. By adjusting the sharpening geometry, engravers can customize the tool for different line widths and cutting characteristics.
This versatility makes the square HSS graver a valuable addition to both professional and developing engraving tool collections.
Heat-Treated High Speed Steel
The GRS 022-341 is manufactured from quality heat-treated high-speed steel, providing a combination of hardness, durability, and wear resistance suitable for engraving.
HSS is a popular material for engraving tools because it can be sharpened repeatedly while maintaining a durable cutting edge when properly prepared.
