Default Re: To cut Cleanly?

I agree with Steve, you should not have to sharpen even HSS that often, I think you may have gotten the graver too hot and taken the heattreating out of it.
Save your money and get the Carbalt Graver from Steve Lindsay, this is the best graver material I know of, it is about the only graver I buy anymore. I only use HSS for inlaying 24k gold because it doesn't stick to the HSS.

I'll even loan you a graver if you want, until you can get your own. If you want, send me your address and I'll send you one of mine if you promise to return it later. Metalchipper@aol.com
