Hi everyone, im very new to engraving and bought a pack of 6 cheap gravers from amazon to practice techniques, these were ok, i then created my own using 2.5mm HSS round bar, this seems to work better? Would someone please post some closeups of graver tips so i can copy them with my bench grinder? Thank you. Tom.
