The GRS C-Max 120° V-Point Carbide Graver is a precision, pre-shaped tungsten carbide graver designed for hand engraving, jewelry engraving, background removal, fine-line engraving, general engraving, and shading. Its wide 120° V-point geometry provides engravers with a versatile cutting profile for detailed metalwork and specialized engraving techniques.

The C-Max V-Point is precision manufactured from special tungsten carbide, providing an effective combination of hardness and toughness for maintaining a precise cutting edge while working on a wide range of engravable metals. GRS developed C-Max specifically for engravers, stone setters, and other craftsmen who require durable, precision cutting tools.

The graver is pre-shaped to 120°, reducing the amount of initial grinding required compared with a blank. It should still be properly sharpened before use to create the final cutting edge and heel geometry needed for your specific engraving technique.

C-Max Carbide Performance

GRS C-Max carbide was developed specifically for engraving and stone-setting applications. Its tungsten carbide construction is designed to provide the hardness needed for a precise cutting edge while maintaining the toughness required for demanding hand engraving work.

The 120° V-point is the widest angle in the GRS C-Max V-Point family. It is part of a range that also includes 60°, 75°, 90°, and 105° V-point geometries, allowing engravers to select a cutting angle suited to their particular technique and application.

Sharpening

This graver is pre-shaped but must be properly sharpened before use. Sharpening creates the final cutting edge and heel required for your engraving technique. Because carbide is hard and relatively brittle, use appropriate sharpening equipment and protect the finished point from impact.

Tool Holder Compatibility

The 120° C-Max V-Point features a 1/8-inch (3.175 mm) round shank and is designed for use with the GRS QC Tool Holder for 1/8-inch Round Tools (#004-873).
