Wanting to Buy Pyrogravure...

[valiant]

Hi Guys,

Is there anyone out there who may have one of these they are no longer using?

I have a job which I could do with using a pyro on, but looking online, they look much more complex than I need!

Please PM me here, preferably UK based, to save on postage.

Hi Steve,
I bought this soldering iron from Amazon Germany (about 8 Euros) and it does what it should. The greatest advantage is that you can control the temperature. I sharpened the tip of the grip and it works perfectly for me.

PS: Found this on the Amazon UK-site

I use a cheap soldering iron. Made a sharp point tip from 4mm D brass. Then I use a lamp dimmer to regulate the heat.

My best shot was from Mano Mano 18.34 Euros.

I have one which I rarely use - I tend to use a low power soldering iron, but I am modelling 90mm plus figures. The pyragravure might be better for 54mm.
