Replaceable
If you've had trouble with your Colwood pen, you might be looking for a solution. Colwood Replaceable System has a molded bushing, and replaceable tips.

It requires only a Bushing/tip assembly. Colwood units are compatible with the replacement tips.
The Colwood Replacement Tips are made of high quality materials and are available in several styles and sizes. 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. It's also a great choice for leather burning, thanks to its crisp lines and smooth shading.
Ball
Colwood Ball Replaceable Woodburning Circle Tip works well for all types of woodburning including line drawings and signatures. You can burn clean lines with its silky smooth finish.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
