Understanding Liner Gravers

Liner gravers are defined by the width of the cutting edges and the number of lines the graver will cut in a single stroke. The width number refers to the size of the lines and the space between them — not the total width of the mark the graver makes. To determine the true width of a liner graver, find the distance between lines for the given width number and multiply by the number of lines.

The first number is the width number; the second number is the distance between lines:

Example: A 10 x 12 liner graver has a true width of 1.5 mm (12 lines × 0.125 mm). A 20 x 20 liner graver has a true width of 5.0 mm (20 lines × 0.250 mm).

Note: "True width" refers to the width of the cut the graver makes in the metal, not the physical width of the graver itself. Measurements are approximate.
