Part # 103.531 In Stock Weight -- lb -- g
Current price $920.00

The GRS Standard Engraver's Block (also known as an engraver's ball or setter's ball) is a solid-steel, USA-made vise designed for engraving, stone setting, and precision bench handwork. Non-glare satin chrome and black jaws reduce unwanted reflections to minimize eye strain during detailed work. Fully adjustable rotational resistance lets you fine-tune drag to match your working style. At 19 lb (8.6 kg)—approximately 25% heavier than comparable-size blocks—it delivers rock-steady support and smooth, controlled rotation for a lifetime of professional use.

Features

  • Made in USA, solid steel: Durable construction engineered for smooth rotation and long-term reliability.
  • Non-glare jaws: Satin chrome and black finish minimizes reflections to reduce eye strain during close work.
  • Heavy, stable platform: 19 lb weight dampens movement for precise cuts and secure workholding.
  • Adjustable drag: Fully adjustable rotational friction lets you set resistance to your preferred working feel.
  • Versatile workholding: Suited for engraving, stone setting, and similar bench operations.
