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. |

Customers are mixed about the temperature control of the soldering iron.

"...control so close to pen? Its not that heavy but its constantly banging around and into stuff or I'm dragging it across my work. Major design flaw!!..." Read more
Customers are not happy with the weight of the soldering iron. They mention that it is kind of heavy, and pulls the handle while using it. The temperature control unit gets heavy, which pulls down the cord. The stand, which is just a lightweight bent metal wire, completely gave to the weight.
"...3. I wish it was a little thinner just for better control4. I wish the tip and the base were a little further apart..." Read more
"...The reason being, the temperature knob is just heavy enough that if it slides off the surface I'm working on, it will make the tool jump and could..." Read more
"...However, it is very lightweight so I needed to tape it to the table to keep it from shifting around.3...." Read more
"...I tried to carve them, but maple is very dense. I’d thought about burning the impression on it and finally I have tried...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
With that said my opinion is coming from someone who had no experience with wood burning but had an interest in it.
Here is my opinion of the tool and why I gave it five stars.
Good:
1. It is inexpensive
2. It has adjustable temperatures
3. It had interchangeable tips
4. It works
Bad:
1. I am not a big fan of the stand, recommend that you tape it down when you work
2. It feels like the temperature control is to close to the tool itself (does not make the tool unuable or anything; i just believe it should be a little further.
3. I wish it was a little thinner just for better control
4. I wish the tip and the base were a little further apart
Bottom line though for the price i have already found it to be worth every penny. I have attached a picture of my first wood burning. Its not great or perfect but hey for the first time ever I think I did alright. So hopefully that will inspire some of you to look into wood burning; I have never used one before and to top it off I am not very artistic when it comes to drawing.
That said if your interested in wood burning and are a beginner I would recommend it. For the price it cannot be beat in my opinion (though I have nothing else to compare it to).
I have not used this for soldering or anything other than wood burning. I will say this though if your interested in wood burning I would make sure you get one with an adjustable temperature, and I say that because different woods burn differently. I have used it on fir, pine, maple, and oak all at the same temperatures just to test it out on different woods. For example on fir it will burn it a dark black and cut into the wood pretty fast. I think the temp control just adds more control to the user which is very useful if your new.
- WOOD
- LEATHER (burning)
- PLASTIC (welding = repairing stuff + cutting)
-SOLDERING
- IRONING tiny sections of PAPER or FABRIC
-SEWING applications (Ironing: embroidery onto fusible backing,... Melting nylon/polyester thread or fabric to fuse together. Millnery applications: making flowers for hats etc.)
Update October 2020:
Still going strong and kicking!
This is now in my TOP 10 ESSENTIAL TOOLS along with other basics like a hammer, screwdriver, iron, vacuum cleaner,...I have used this little tool SO MUCH.
Example: I use it for Plastic Welding: Fixed my $230 Cuisinart 14 Cup pro food processor. 1 little plastic piece broke, and it would’ve cost me $65 to replace the bowl. 10 minutes with this thing and $0, fixed like new. -I’ve fixed countless friends’ things this way.
10/10 recommend. Has saved me hundreds in repairs alone. Absolutely worth it. Will be replacing if it ever kicks the bucket.
TIPS:
- CLEANING the TIPS: Plastic welding/ soldering to repair broken plastic: get yourself a cotton cloth to wipe the tip on while you’re using it. (Has to be cotton. any synthetic blend fabric will melt onto your iron.) Then use high grit sandpaper (400, 600, or really 200+) to wipe the tip off on and scrape any gunk off. Makes your tips clean and like new.
- SECURE THE BASE/ holder so you don't burn yourself: Use outdoor painter's tape to keep the hot tool securely in place on your table so it doesn’t slide away and so you won't burn yourself. The tape will peel right off when you're done. OrSecure to table by putting a piece of rubber shelf lining under the metal holder/base.
- Secure the TEMPERATURE you want: with a little piece of painter’s, packing, or masking tape to secure the tool in the exact heating position you want. The dial can easily move, so if you bump it on anything, you might crank the heat up or down unintentionally. Sticking a little piece of tape: 1/2 on the tool, 1/2 on the heating wheel/knob, makes it stay exactly where you want it. Then when you're done it peels right off clean.
- The Tape I use to hold the base in place and to hold the temperature dial in place:
ScotchBlue 2097-48EC Painter Tape for Exterior Surfaces, 1.88-Inch by 45-Yard .
It's my new favorite tape for all projects because it tears off in a straight line and sticks to everything while also cleanly peeling off of very type of surface.
- Totally worth buying the extra tips: SE WP28 28-Piece Wood Burning Pen Tips . You may think you won't use some of these tips, and you're right, but you can grind them down with a dremel and make more pointed tips, since the plain pointed tips do wear out.

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.
