Hammergun Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 My chequering tool has worn out and I can't get replacement tips to suit that type. Does anyone have any chequering tools or riffler files (for engraving metal)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammergun Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I got a cheap set of riffler files for £2.95 from one of those cheap tool shops which sell the cheap brands such as "Rolson" and " Am Tech". Whilst they may be useless for metalworking, they are OK for chequering. There is only one tool in the set suitable, (the "v" profile) but it is much cheaper than getting an individual new one. You can buy quality riffler files from http://www.cromwell.co.uk There are special chequering tools for sale from Peter Dyson gunmakers tools, but they tend to be expensive. If you are doing chequering fron scratch, they do a chequering head which has a follower which runs in the previous line to keep the new line parallel. http://www.peterdyson.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
