GRS 022-397 #4/0 QC HSS Onglette Graver – 1.24 mm
The GRS 022-397 #4/0 QC HSS Onglette Graver is a precision 1.24 mm Quick Change (QC) onglette graver designed for professional hand engraving, jewelry engraving, stone setting, inlay work, and decorative metalwork.
The onglette profile features a flat top with curved sides that taper to a narrow, sharp cutting point. This geometry provides excellent control for producing clean lines and controlled cuts while allowing the width of the engraved line to vary with the angle and depth of the cut.
Made from high-speed chrome tool steel, the 022-397 is engineered for durability and edge retention during demanding engraving and stone-setting applications. The integrated QC shank is designed for use with GRS Quick Change holders, allowing fast and convenient tool changes without repeatedly setting up a traditional graver handle.
At 1.24 mm, the #4/0 size is a versatile choice for detailed engraving work where a relatively fine onglette profile is required.

Onglette Graver Profile
An onglette graver has a distinctive profile with a flat top and curved sides that converge toward a narrow cutting point. This geometry makes it particularly useful for controlled line engraving and applications requiring both precision and variation in line width.
The pointed cutting edge allows the engraver to enter the metal cleanly, while changing the tool angle can alter the width and character of the resulting cut.
Ideal for Stone Setting
The 022-397 is particularly useful for stone setting applications, including cutting borders and refining areas around settings. Its narrow point provides the control needed for detailed work where accuracy is critical.
The #4/0 size provides a useful balance between fine detail and cutting strength for many jewelry and stone-setting applications.
Line Engraving & Decorative Work
The onglette profile is also well suited for line engraving, decorative borders, inlay work, and varying-width cuts. By adjusting the angle and depth of the graver, engravers can create lines with different visual weights using the same tool.
This versatility makes the 022-397 a valuable addition to a professional engraving tool collection.
Quick Change Compatibility
The GRS Quick Change system allows compatible gravers to be changed quickly using a corresponding QC holder. The 022-397 is designed for use with the GRS Traditional QC Tool Holder #004-803.
This system is particularly useful for engravers who frequently switch between different graver profiles and sizes during a project.
