Over the past few years there has been a lot of controversy over whether to use a carbide graver over a steel graver. Often the incorrect grade of tungsten carbide is used when manufacturing carbide gravers and therefore their quality is undermined. Should the correct grade of carbide be chosen there is no reason you should ever have to use a steel graver again.

Diamond Files are manufactured by electroplating diamond on to steel blanks using nickel. Providing this process is done correctly diamond needle files can offer a fantastic abrasive for a variety of applications. The distribution of diamond particles enables the diamond needle file to not only cut in all directions but also produce a much better finish.
