It closely resembles the out-of-production USA Victor engraving block and the formerly Japan-made Vigor engraving block in overall appearance. However, unlike those models, the top jaws on this unit are integrated and \u003cstrong\u003enot removable\u003c\/strong\u003e. This block is intended for students and beginners working on a budget. Fit and finish are not comparable to professional-grade engraving blocks such as those made by GRS or Pepetools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003e5\" standard size\u003c\/strong\u003e engraving block — the 5\" measurement refers to the maximum width of the round block. It ships with a base included. The jaw width is 2-5\/8\" with a height of 1-1\/2\", and the maximum jaw opening is 3\". The unit weighs approximately 21 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is an all-steel (not stainless steel) unit manufactured in a high-humidity environment, the maker applies a heavy coating of cosmoline — a rust-inhibiting compound — to the surfaces. \u003cstrong\u003eBefore placing the block in service, it is strongly recommended that you disassemble the unit and wipe it down thoroughly with a dry cloth (not wet, as moisture will cause rust).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pin hole sizes on top of this block are compatible with GRS pin tools used in the GRS attachment sets, part numbers 103.520 and 103.520MPV. For those comparing options, the made-in-USA Glendo GRS engraving blocks are significantly higher in quality than this economy block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEconomy-grade engraving block for students and budget-conscious beginners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\" maximum width round block with included base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated (non-removable) top jaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaw width: 2-5\/8\" | Jaw height: 1-1\/2\" | Maximum jaw opening: 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-steel construction (not stainless); cosmoline-coated for rust protection during shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin hole sizes compatible with GRS pin tools (GRS attachment sets 103.520 and 103.520MPV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a complete set of attachments and a key for opening and closing the jaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlock Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" (maximum width)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJaw Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-5\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJaw Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Jaw Opening\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 21 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll steel (not stainless)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-Line Engraving Block (5\" standard size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey for opening and closing the jaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop jaws are integrated into the unit and are \u003cstrong\u003enot removable\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit is coated with cosmoline to prevent rust during transit.
