Brownells sells the tools for and books about checkering. I suggest you pay the $5 and get a print catalog, it is worth it just for the reading.

Here are some suggestions from a professional checkerer who used to work for the old Kimber rifle company.

I have assumed you want to hand checker wood. That is a whole different deal than checkering metal. Good Luck.
