Description
The multiple lining tool allows the engraver to create hatched shading effects{{sfn|Banister|1969|p=80}} by engraving multiple parallel lines at the same time.{{sfn|Kohlus|1926|p=116}} It achieves this by having two or more cutting blades,{{sfn|Banister|1969|p=80}} which are available in different grades or sizes,{{sfn|Chamberlain|1972|p=117}} such as the density of lines. The resulting hatching has a mechanical look.{{sfn|Banister|1969|p=80}}
