GRS 003-531 Standard Engraving Block with GRS 30 Piece 003-520 Attachment Set

A solid steel block that turns smoothly and holds firm is the foundation for hand engraving and stone setting. The Glendo 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, and this listing pairs it with the GRS 30 Piece 003-520 Attachment Set.

Non-glare satin chrome and black jaws reduce unwanted reflections to minimize eye strain during detailed work, and fully adjustable rotational resistance lets you fine-tune drag to match your working style. At 19 lb (8.6 kg), roughly 25% heavier than comparable size blocks, it delivers rock-steady support and smooth, controlled rotation for a lifetime of professional use.

The block turns on a 5.12" (130 mm) ball, carries 2.5" (64 mm) jaws that open to 3" (76 mm), and stands 6" (152 mm) high on its base.
