Are Momax gravers still available? I am revising the FEGA engraving handbook. There is a discussion of Momax gravers that I am not sure should stay in the handbook. I cannot find anything about those gravers online.
MOMAX GRAVER BLANKS
- Thread starter AllenClapp
- Start date
i own a couple of them. they were manufactured by the jessup steel company in washington, pa. about 10 city blocks away from my home. i know that the gravers were about as good as any gravers available to me at the time. as far as i know, that alloy may no longer be supplied by the company that "bought jessup. -- allegheny ludlum. allegheny was purchased by ati. btw, i recall that they were known by the designation, "purple label"
ati is currently operational. i'll give them a call wed. will let u know wed eve. if the alloy is still available.

I ran a Google search for 1/8" square Momax tool bits, and I find several listings; caveat: they now spell it Mo Max, not one word as previously listed. (Trademark issue?) The ones on Amazon are 2 1/2", and they seem to list them as M42 HSS. I have searched for longer ones, but have yet to find any.
2morrow i get a hospital "break". will call the company for sure. will post what i find.

Interesting about the spelling issue. I wonder if those are a knockoff of the original.
