Stone-setters will save time removing the metal between and around stones when using pavé and other setting techniques. Engravers can shape small gravers without having to use a blank that is much too big for the job.
The C-Max carbide gravers with a 2.35-mm shaft are available with diameters rising in 0.2-mm gradations from 0.8 mm to 2.2 mm.
A finely-tapered point perfect for texturing or stippling is also available.
These gravers are specially made for engravers, stone setters, and other craftsmen to combine the ability to hold a precise edge with the toughness needed to cut through many engravable metals. Years of development have produced a tungsten carbide graver with the right blend of hardness and toughness for hand engraving and stone setting applications. C-Max achieves a metallurgical balance like no other carbide. For years, engravers and jewellers have used other carbide gravers that break easily or do not hold a fine edge.
