Adjusng Collets to t Larger Tips
This guide shows how to adjust your TRUArt Stage 2 60W pyrography pen’s collets to fit
larger (thicker) or smaller (thinner) wire tips. Universal wood burning wire tips
generally come in three sizes and can be thicker, thinner, wider, and/or longer than
standard tips:
• 16 Gauge (GA) - 1.29 mm - Thick (Needs initial collet adjustment)
• 18 GA - 1.02 mm - Perfect fit (No need for any adjustments)
• 20 GA - 0.81 mm - Thin/Fine wire (Needs tightening with pliers)
Fitting thicker wire tips into your wood burner collets
The thicker 16 GA tips last longer and are best for prolonged usage as they do not wear
out easily after countless cleaning. However, you will need to initially adjust your
pyrography pen’s collet to fit them. You would only need to do this once after which it
becomes much easier to switch between the different types of wire tips.
Step 1
Unscrew the locking nuts (arrows)
from the collets
Step 2
Push the universal tip into the collets
(red circle) making sure that they are
aligned straight into the collets as
much as possible. Some force may be
required to do that.
