E.C. Muller Flat Gravers are made from high speed steel and pre-tempered for use on non-ferrous metals. They can be shaped to suit specific needs and must be sharpened before use. All gravers are 4 1/2" long. Widths are approximate. Made in USA.
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.
Flat Gravers have a flat cutting edge with either parallel or slightly tapered sides. They're useful for removing or texturing backgrounds, bright-cutting, block lettering, and cutting consistent width lines for borders.
High Speed Steel (HSS) gravers strike a balance between cost and durability. They maintain their hardness (temper) better than standard carbon steel and cost less than carbide.
