    I have been a hand engraver and a stone setter for 28 years andI
    learned how to sharpen my gravers by hand. I use my gravers everyday
    all day long. Sharpening is an important skill but it is a task that
    can be done by mechanical means faster and better. I started using
    GRS equipment 15 years ago and I wouldn't be without it. I use
    carbide for all my square gravers, I can put a perfect edge and a
    high polish on one in a couple of minutes and it will last all day
    as long as I don't chip it. You can set any angles that you want and
    get them exactly the same every time. And the cuts are so shiny that
    if I polished them it would make them duller.
