Tool used to cut letters on grave spotted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripsaw

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tool' is the definition.
(ripsaw is a kind of tool)

'to cut letters on grave spotted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'cut' could be 'saw' (sawing is a kind of cutting) and 'saw' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rip' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'used' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ripsaw that I've seen before include "Cutting tool" , "Coarse wood cutter" , "It cuts along the grain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
