Engraving is a process of incising a mark or design with an engraving tool onto metals like steel, brass and non-metals like plastic and wood. Gravers are conic tools (halved carbide round rod) with one cutting edge. The engraving equipments and tools are pushed into the metal plate to engrave the design. The deeper engraving tool penetrates into the metal, the wider the line becomes. The relationship between dipping depth and engraving width is determined by the top angle of the engraving tool. Result may be a decorative mark or design in itself, as when silver or gold are engraved, or may provide an intaglio plate when copper is engraved or a relief print block when wood is engraved.
Engraving tools are usually made with hard steel to cut the design into the surface like copper and steel plates. These engraving tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Engraving tool produces a unique and recognizable quality of mark that is characterized by its steady, clean edges and deliberate appearance. Engraving tools are manufactured in various shapes like angle tint engraving tool, flat bottomed engraving tool, flat gravers and round gravers. Each unique engraving tool has its own purpose. These durable tools are useful for both wood, plastic and metal engraving.
