Colwood offers both replaceable and fixed tips for all its handpieces. Colwood handpieces, made from superior insulation material, have a custom cork handle for long hours of fire. Colwood's Replaceable tips are compatible with all handpieces provided that they are used in conjunction with an RT Handle. No matter what brand, you can find a replacement tip to fit any Colwood handpiece. Here are the Colwood tip types.
Replaceable
Colwood Pens are sometimes difficult to use. The Colwood Replaceable System features a molded bushing and 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. All Colwood units can use the replaceable tips.
Colwood Replacement Tips can be purchased in different sizes and styles. They can be used with any woodburning unit, provided you have the appropriate adapter. A small, symmetrical tip with a short spade is great for wood burning. Wood will burn at a higher heat than cork. Make sure to set it lower. Due to its sleek lines and smooth shading, wood is an excellent choice for leather burning.
Ball
The Colwood Ball Replaceable Woodburning Circle Tip is ideal for many styles of wood burning, including line drawings, signatures, burnishing, and shading. The tip's smooth, silky finish makes it easy to burn with clean strokes. These tips must be handled. This set includes three tips. Two are for shading and one is for line drawings. Preparing the wood to burn is necessary for each tip. There are two sizes available for the tips: small and medium.
Colwood offers two types RT and FT tips. RT stands short for replacement while FT stands to be fixed. The RT is removable and can be removed using a special tip puller. When you want to change to a different tip, the FT will need to be replaced. If you plan to change your tips often, RT pens can be a great choice.
Shading
Colwood Replaceable Woodburning Shading Tip allows you to add subtle shadings to your woodburning projects. This tip measures 3/16 inches and is ideal for shading large areas. The tool also has angled tips that can be used to highlight and shade. All tips are replaceable and are soldered into nickel plated brass pins. Five replacement tips are included. Colwood also offers additional tips.
Adaptor
Razertip Tips are now available with Colwood Woodburner Adaptor. This adaptor is a cost-saving alternative to purchasing an expensive cord to attach your Razertip handpiece to your woodburner. This adaptor plugs into any razortip handpiece and can be used with the Colwood Handpiece Cord's female end. This adaptor allows you to finely carve with the Colwood Woodburner. Visit the Colwood site to find out more.
Colwood adaptors can be used with all Nibs, Burn Master and Optima woodburners. Razertip woodburning pencils are also compatible with the adaptor. Visit the manufacturer's website for detailed information on accessories for Colwood Woodburners. This will assist you in selecting the right cord to fit your woodburner. Before buying one, ensure you read the instructions. If you are using an electric woodburner, you can use the Ultra-flex cord.
Price
Colwood refillable tips come in a range of prices. These tips are essentially the same, but they are shaped differently. Colwood's replaceable tips are made out of cork, which is a premium material. These tips are more resistant against corrosion and don't need to be replaced with a tool. They also feature a cork collar on their handle which allows you hold the pen more closely while writing, yet still maintain complete control.
FAQ
What are the basics of woodworking?
Building a bench is a great way to get started in furniture building. You can do this project using any type of wood you have on hand at home. If you don't know what kind of wood to use, then go ahead and buy some cheap pine boards from Home Depot or Lowes. After building your bench, sand off any rough edges and apply a stain or varnish.
Where can I find my woodworking tools?
There are many places that you can find all the information you need. For example, you could visit local hardware stores or look online at websites like Amazon.com.
You might also consider flea markets and garage sale for any old furniture or other materials you could reuse.
How can a novice woodworker make it big?
Many people are starting to learn how to build furniture because they want to start an online business. You don't have to sell on Etsy if your furniture is just beginning. You could also sell at craft fairs, or other local events. Offering workshops could be another option for those who are interested in learning how to build their furniture. You might be able to offer services like remodeling homes or making custom pieces for clients if you are a skilled carpenter.
What furniture can I refinish?
Yes! There are many different ways to refinish older furniture without the need for professional help. Here are some suggestions:
To remove stains and scratches, use sandpaper. Then wipe down the surface with a clean cloth.
Apply clear polyurethane varnish. Before moving furniture, let dry completely.
Paint furniture with acrylic paint.
Stain can be used instead of paint. Furniture will look richer with the stain.
Use shellac wax. The wax will add shine to the wood and protect it.

How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We use many methods to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
