GUILLET 5mm Tungsten Carbide Tipped Lettering Chisel EUROP2E (5317)
Execute pristine v-incised lettering, relief carvings, and intricate architectural engraving with the GUILLET 5mm Tungsten Carbide Tipped Engraving Lettering Chisel EUROP2E (Model: 5317), available across Australia through DIAMACH. Precision-engineered in France by industry legends Guillet—forging premium trade gear since 1643—this specialist fine-art chisel is the preferred choice for monumental stonemasons, sculptors, and heritage restoration professionals tackling dense stone profiles.
The performance driver of the 5317 model is its elite Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) exposed cutting edge. Boasting a 1-star hardness rating formulated for optimal structural toughness, this premium carbide insert actively resists fracturing while holding a razor-sharp profile against hard minerals. The slim 5mm wide blade offers maximum geometric agility, letting both master craftsmen and beginner users trace delicate script curves, execute micro-textures, and clear pristine lettering troughs on demanding marble, granite, and limestone surfaces with absolute precision.
Natively versatile for a range of workshop workflows, the 10mm thick cylindrical shaft and 190mm overall length provide exceptional balance and handling comfort. The tool can be driven traditionally by hand with an engraver’s mallet. Alternatively, the handle is precision-machined to accept a small mallet head adapter (Model 3035) or lock into B102C36 and B127C55 pneumatic striking adapters for high-speed air hammer setups.
Why Choose the Guillet 5317 Lettering Chisel from DIAMACH?
• Industrial 1-Star Toughness Carbide: Exposed TCT insert holds its cutting edge over extended runtimes on abrasive granite and marble.
• Precision 5mm Detail Blade: Agile 5mm width allows fine-line incising, micro-engraving, and sharp incised text execution.
• Hybrid Drive Capabilities: Seamlessly switches from manual hand mallet hammering to pneumatic air tools using integrated adapter connections.
• Ergonomic 190mm Handle Design: Balanced 10mm steel shaft dampens jarring striking vibrations to shield your hand and wrist from fatigue.
• Elite Local Tooling Support: Procured reliably and backed nationwide by DIAMACH, Australia’s premier specialist vendor for elite stonemasonry consumables, diamond tools, and carving gear.
Professional Lettering Tip
• Preserve Your Detail Edge: When carving fine script letters with a narrow 5mm carbide chisel, avoid using heavy, blunt hammer blows. Instead, use rapid, lighter taps with a balanced round mallet. Ensure the tool is kept traveling along the v-cut line at a steady 45-degree angle. Striking a narrow-tipped chisel too hard at a steep vertical angle can chip the fine corners of the exposed carbide tip.
Also available in a branded fabric case (ref. 8574), contents: 7 scissors with widths of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 20 mm with 1 carbide scoring tip
