engraving chisels. where to get them

[MAtthew Boston]

Does anyone know where I can get some engraving chisels? The ones I have are from my grandfather who passed away some years ago. So I kind of would like to get some new ones so i dont have to use the old ones. So does anyone know where I can get them? Or who I can purchase them from?

Otto Frei One of the very best, and most extensive, when it comes to tools for the jeweler.

GESSWEIN is good too for manufactured shapes. The hardcopy catalogue is more useful than the online.

Here are links to two forums about engravig that you may find useful:

The term you're looking for is "graver" rather than "engraving chisel." There is a bewildering number of different type of gravers available, so good luck in your search!

 

If you're not currently an experienced push or hammer and chisel engraver you might want to look at the new pneumatic engraving machines, either from GRS of Lindsay. They will take years of learning curve off the task. You'll see lots about them on the two engraving forums above.
