Professionaltools for carving metal
Then, (if you haven't been scared off!) try asking more narrowly focused questions. My answer here is not intended to be mean spirited or flippant, but engraving is a demanding path, and you can waste a huge amount of time, effort, and money and have nothing to show for it at the end but disappointment. That being said, we are currently in the "Golden Age" of engraving, and modern methods available today can cut many years off the learning curve, alllowing beginners to reach early successes many years in advance of traditional engraving methods.

What Tom said. That "set" is just a few onglette (oval) and knife (sharp V) gravers for jewelry work. The vast majority of engraving is done with a square graver sharpened on one corner to make an angle of 110-135 degrees. Jantz will sell you a bunch of #4 square gravers and a chasing hammer to get you started, but hammer engraving is indeed a steep learning curve, one that is probably insurmountable without a little in-person class time to figure it out. I took a one-week class in hand engraving back in 2001, and you see how bad I still am. Then again, the class was for 18th-century methods, and I'm about okay at those. The modern stuff is far beyond my skill level with simple tools. A $4000 microscope and a $1600 Lindsey AirGraver system along with a month or two of classroom training ($$$$) might help with that...

Until you find someone willing to do some hands-on work with you, find a copy of "The Art of Engraving" by James B. Meeks. He was pretty old-school in the way he worked, and while the book can't teach you how to do it it will give you a better idea of what's going on at the point of the graver.

I must profess I know nothing when it comes to engraving except that it can really compliment a knife! I want to acquire a few engravers and a hammer and see what I can accomplish and if I like doing it! Having said that I am not looking to get into a great investment but would like to have something worth bring home!

I plan to buy a stereoscope pretty soon, and there are some pretty reliable ones in the $300 range. At least I have been told that.
C Craft Customs ~~~ With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! ~~~ C Craft

an option for lower-end startup is to get a used Magnagraver hammer handpiece made by NGRAVER. I got mine off of ebay for $80. Then, get a low speed, high-torque foredom to drive it. It is the best of the hammer handpieces, and close to air assist (according to people who know... not me). Then, get a large round shaft cutoff, flat. Put either pitch or hot glue on it. You can grab it and rotate freely but it is too massive to let your work move when engraving. For less than $400, you will have power assist and a good approximation of a vise.
Candidate should have considerable knowledge of the construction industry and will be able to handle the fast pace, stress and deadlines associated with design changes that cause field operations to be adjusted. Additionally, you will be responsible to make sure the project is being built according to the planned submittal, record all data that is required to be submitted and reviewed; monitor changes in conditions that would affect the design, communicate all changes and concerns along with the progress of the job to the project manager and/or the project engineer.
MetalEngraving Chisel
Guys I do appreciate the info, and I don't scare easily! I have learned from the school of hard knocks all my life. I am not looking to be able to do something like you see in the opening of this site. http://lindsayengraving.com/ However I would love to be able to add a simple design to one of my knives! I saw the air gravers but I don't want to get into a great investment. Who knows I may be just fooling myself. I have been doing carpenter work since I was 14 yrs. of age and have done a little carving with wood chisels. So I know it's not as easy as it looks. Finally thanks for all the info! I have been feeling poorly all day so will sit down tomorrow and try to go thru all of it a little more in depth! So far I ain't scared just more intrigued!!

“Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V. Debs
I have no affiliation with the site but I have been watching and am a part of the forum over there. Some really nice videos and stuff about engraving.
Jul 27, 2021 — Cobalt drill bits vs. titanium vs. black oxide ... Both cobalt and titanium drill bits are used to make holes in hard, tough materials like metal.
Jun 3, 2022 — I am looking to buy a 12mm reamer bit for my drill press. Should I use a 11.5mm, 11.8mm or 15/32 inch drill bit to pre-drill the hole?
There's better news than that! A nice Meiji microscope and GRS Acrobat stand will run about $2100, and Lindsay has a nice entry level air graver, the Artisan, with foot control/regulators for $850 (you supply the compressor). Add an engraver's ball vise for $500ish and a few hundred more for graver blanks and simple sharpening system, and you can have a decent setup for around 4 grand.
Another option is purchasing Japanese style tools from Patrick Hastings. www.taganearts.com He also teaches classes. I will tell you, if you go this route, don't choke the chisels. Hold them lightly. I've given myself a nasty case of tennis elbow from squeezing them too hard. The learning curve is STEEP.
This 1/2" shank router cutting bit set also comes in a beautiful solid wood router bit storage case. The cutting diameters are: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4".
Those are push gravers, not used with a hammer. To use those in the materials commonly used making knives requires a truly manly man. And MANY years of learning.
Dagger Drills, suitable for use in a wide range of composites and plastics, are an ideal choice for hand drilling composites in assembly applications.
For right now I am just looking for a set that will give me a chance to see if I really like engraving or if I have any natural talent. How ever I know sometimes there are things just not worth bringing to the house, so to speak!

has a wealth of info and even though I have read it I need to go back and reread there is so much packed into it! I realize that sharpening gravers is like sharpening a wood chisel, done incorrectly it can render the chisel useless. And I also get that without some hands on instruction I am up against a very steep learning curve. I have no intention of going into the engraving business but right now I am looking for the basics that I might sign a knife by engraving or perhaps add a few lines to embellish a piece with!

All of this will get you started. It doesn't cost as much as the other routes. I have done all of these, and I can engrave more than I could after a year of trying with hand chisels. Still not free, but a good way to start.
