Point Techniques
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Universal PointPerforms all fundamental wood burning techniques including line drawing, curves, and shading. Change the angle and grip of the tool to achieve different techniques. |
Flow Point and Mini Flow PointUse to burn curves, dots, and fine details. Works well for cursive writing and dot shading techniques. |
Shading PointCreates smooth, even shading in subtle gradations or dark, bold shading. Use different pressure, speed, and movement for contrasting looks. Leaf shapes are easy to stamp using the shape of the point. |
Tapered PointCuts intricate designs from stencil material & burns extra-fine, detailed lines. |
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Calligraphy PointCreates basic calligraphy style lettering and shaping. For lettering hold as you would a calligraphy pen at a 45° angle. Use the flat side of the point to form lettering components. |
Hot Knife PointCuts and shapes a variety of materials such as foam, faux pumpkins, and foam core board. It is best to use a glass work surface with this point. |
Soldering Point and Lead-Free SolderUse together to join metal. For successful soldering adhesion, and point protections, the Soldering Point should be tinned (coated with solder). To do this, apply a small amount of solder to the Point and wipe off on a damp sponge. Wipe Soldering Point often to remove flux buildup. If flux is hard to remove, quickly rub the Point on fine sandpaper and re-tin again. |
Stamping PointsUse to create interesting patterns and borders on multiple surfaces. Simply press the point down and hold for a few seconds to stamp the design on to your piece. |

I have average to small hands (male) and I find that it fits well in my hand and I don't have to think about how I am gripping it which is a nice change from previous models that I have used by different manufacturers.
The temperature control is fairly large (look at the picture in the listing) and it is a little closer to the tool than I would like. It is close enough that I know it will get in the way sometime, but far enough that it hasn't happened yet. Maybe I am wrong and it is actually at a great distance and I am expecting to run into an issue that won't actually happen.
If you are just starting into pyrography I would recommend this tool, it is a good balance between price and features. I started on less expensive units and was able to create art but it was not nearly as easy as it is with the temperature control and tips that are included here.
I've used it on wood, cork, plastic (tu create my own stencils) and have a great success (if I do say so myself). The only thing that I kind of dislike is that the dial is quite close to the tool and it sometimes flips upside down and then with the moving of the tip will change temperature on you. But that might just be my beginner level and not properly manoeuvring it yet.
I am so happy with this product. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to start wood burning.
I like that this pen doesn't have a long point - so it's like using a large pencil. Others I looked at seemed like the point would be really far away from your fingers, therefore harder to control. My two boys (ages 10 and 12) have tried this too - under close supervision and did fine. The part your hand holds gets very slightly warm - not hot at all even after 40 minutes of use from my experience. But the tip does get SUPER hot - would cause severe burns if handled incorrectly. Again - really carefully reading the instructions and following them (they suggest taping the pen rest to the surface - I do this every time) is very wise to ensure it's enjoyable and safe.

En uso prolongado se calienta un poco del mango pero es soportable sugerencia usar guantes protectores si tu piel es delicada.
Calienta muy rápido y los accesorios son perfectos para trabajos muy completos.
Dommage qu'il n'est pas mentionné qu'il est vendu avec une prise US et non française et qu'il fonctionne en 110volts et non en 220volts.
Donc achat supplémentaire d'un transfo.
Sinon très bien.
