Stylus tips
All fully built Clone duplicators come with one 14.7″ (+1mm) round nose stylus tip. Additional stylus tips are made to order to customers requirements.
£20 each for nylon tips
£25 each for steel tips (steel is used on small diameters for added strength)
All tips come attached to a machined stainless steel round bar.
Ordering additional stylus tips.
When ordering additional stylus tips please send dimensions of the cutter you would like the stylus tip pairing with and specify whether you require the tip to be ‘like for like’, +1mm diameter, +2mm diameter etc.
Round nose or flat bottom cutters?
Round nose stylus tips move over the master easier, and the cutters tend not to lift the wood when cutting quite as much as flat bottom cutters. ‘Like for like’ flat bottom cutters are recommended when carving cut outs, channels etc.
