Muller HSS Round Gravers
High Speed Steel
E.C. Muller Round 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.
The 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.
- Round Gravers have a round cutting edge with either parallel or slightly tapered sides. They're used primarily for raising and rolling beads for stone setting or cutting smooth curves when engraving or chasing. Also known as a dotter when engraving letters.
- 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.
