    Hi Joe and All, never used efb gravers, but I'll give you my
    preferences on gravers anyway. My job is stone setting and my
    gravers hss swiss: onglette, flat, halfround, knive, whit different
    sizes of each shape (over two dozens in total). But if I had to
    chose just one I would keep a n.2 onglette for raising beads,
    cleaning between beads and stones and brigth cutting. Allow me one
    more and I'd go for a n.8 flat graver as a help whenever I wanted
    wider bright cuts or very crisp corners. 

    However, I have seen differnt stone setters working with different
    gravers achieving basically the same results. So unless it is a very
    specific task that needs a very specific graver, personal
    preferences developed through experience is what applies. 

Regards, Fernando
