فراغ قاطع نقش 1/8 × 2 بوصة

Finally got around to shaping one of these 1/8 x 2 blanks into a diamond point, and the steel held up nicely without chipping. Took a bit of patience to get the edge even, but once it was set, it cut cleanly into brass.

I've been grinding these down to fit my handheld engraver, and the 1/8 inch shank holds perfectly in the collet with zero wobble. The 2 inch length gives me plenty of material to work with for custom profiling.

The 1/8 x 2 inch size is exactly what I needed for a custom tool project, and the blank's straightness made shaping it straightforward. Cut and sharpened it without any chipping or warping, so I'm already planning my next one.
