Colwood offers both fixed-and-replaceable tips on all of its handpieces. Colwood handpieces have a cork-grip for long hours of enjoyment. Colwood's Replaceable Tips can be used with any of its handpieces as long as the RT Handle is used. Any Colwood handpiece can be replaced with a replacement tip, regardless of its brand. Here are the Colwood tip types.
Replaceable
If you've had trouble with your Colwood pen, you might be looking for a solution. Colwood Replaceable System comes with a molded bushing as well as replaceable tips. The Colwood replaceable tips feature a custom cork grip for a comfortable burn for hours. The Colwood Replaceable System is more cost-effective than other tip replacement systems. It requires only a Bushing/tip assembly. Colwood units are compatible with the replacement tips.
Colwood Replacement Tip are made of high quality materials. They come in various sizes and styles. If you purchase them with the correct adapter, they will also work with other woodburning units. A small, symmetrical tip with a short spade is great for wood burning. Wood takes a higher temperature that cork so make sure you use a lower setting. Wood is a great choice when it comes to leather burning because of its clean lines and smooth shading.
Ball
The Colwood Ball Replaceable Woodburning Circle Tip is ideal for many styles of wood burning, including line drawings, signatures, burnishing, and shading. Its silky smooth finish allows for clean burn strokes. These tips are best used with a Handle. This set includes three tips. There are two for shading and one to draw lines. Before you can use each tip, prepare the wood. There are two sizes available for the tips: small and medium.
Colwood offers two kinds of tips: RT and FT. RT is short for replacement, while FT stands for fixed. The RT is removable and can be removed using a special tip puller. If you need to change a tip, the fixed FT needs to be replaced. RT pens are a great option if you're planning to change tips frequently.
Shading
Colwood Replaceable Woodburning Shading Tip provides subtle shading for woodburning projects. This tip's 3/16 inch length is ideal for shading larger areas. You can also use the angled tips to highlight or shade. All tips can be replaced and are soldered to nickel-plated brass pins. There are also five included replacement tips. Colwood also offers other tips.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
