Source For Gravera

[jdrichard]

Looking fir a good source for A set of gravers for using my new Boley Lathe. Would like to get the diamond shaped head as all the Videos and Books i have purchased use the diamond shaped head. I have some old "chunks of steel" gravers that came with the lathe, but they all seem to be knife shaped??

I originally purchased graver blanks from eBay but although they worked they dulled very quickly. I then purchased some "Vallorbe " gravers from eternal tools (see link below) but I notice that now they only sell carbide gravers.  I have been told carbide gravers are super sharp stay sharp longer etc BUT they are a nightmare to re-sharpen.

However I have found two other companies that sell quality gravers :

http://www.egltools.com

or

http://www.asic-sa.com
