Part # 103.530 In Stock Weight -- lb -- g
Current price $800.00

The GRS Standard Engraver's Block (model 003-530) is a solid-steel workholding vise built in the USA for engraving, stone setting, and precision bench work. Its non-glare satin chrome and black jaws reduce reflections to minimize eye strain during extended sessions, and an adjustable rotational drag lets you fine-tune the feel to match your technique. At 19 lb (8.6 kg)—approximately 25% heavier than comparable blocks—it delivers stable, low-vibration control for delicate cuts and secure workholding.

Features

  • Made in USA, solid steel: Durable construction with smooth rotation and fully adjustable drag.
  • Non-glare jaw finish: Satin chrome and black surfaces reduce reflections and visual fatigue.
  • Heavy, stable platform: 19 lb mass dampens movement for precise hand engraving and setting work.
  • Versatile workholding: Suited for engraving, stone setting, and related bench operations.
