Carbide Gravers for Watchmakers Clockmakers Horology Repair Supplies
Leading the way in modern tooling for watch & clock makers
Tungsten Carbide Gravers
These gravers have literally revolutionised so many clock and watchmakers work that we are often told that they couldn't imagine working without one now. With years of research into the correct blend of hard and tough tungsten carbide we were able to produce a carbide graver that doesn't chip or easily dull like other gravers on the market.
A tungsten carbide graver means that you produce a better finish on your work as well as cutting harder materials quicker and so last longer without resharpening.
How to use our carbide gravers
Our Carbide gravers are used in just the same way as a regular graver, minimum pressure is required and the most common errors I see are people forcing the graver into the work. Keep the graver firm but with a relaxed hand and feel the tool into the job.
To sharpen our gravers we recommend using our diamond grinding wheels, the fine grade is sufficient for most and the very fine grade will leave a polished finish that is ultimately reflected in your work.
What our customers say...
"The carbide graver is provided with a comfortable, aluminium handle that doesn’t prevent the user “feeling” the steel cut. Keeps a lovely sharp cutting edge for a long time compared with carbon steel or HSS, plus the finish that can be achieved is excellent. Well worth the money for a quality tool that will last a lifetime." James Lamb
"My expectations for the carbide gravers was high. Eternal Tools gravers meet and exceed these expectations. They cut steel, brass and pivot steel all with equal ease making turning a pleasure rather than a chore." Phillip Denney
"I use my carbide graver for forming clock pivots on blued steel and it is a joy to use. The point of the graver does not chip as carbon steel ones frequently do and I thoroughly recommend them to all in the trade." Ken & Moira Russell
"The amount of material that can be removed while keeping a keen edge is most impressive. I have recently been making some wheel cutters from high carbon steel and find the material is removed as easily as cutting through butter." Dave Hamer
