Wheel engraving

[Ian groves]

What best way to engraving inside a curve like motorbike wheel ect.i have tried lifting the template but still find my hand gets in the way
I know grs do a curved would that be best choice
Also seen lindsey does a negative template but after postage and import duty to UK would cost about £100 for just one template that's crazy

familiarize yerself with heat treating/annealing steel. you'll likely be able to engrave once the graver shaft is suitably curved to allow for clearance. you can also buy curved gravers. you may get a bargain on ebay.

Would it be best to sharpen on grs dual

"best" is what works for you. i own and use it. it works very well for any geometry you want to try.
