Product Information

As its name suggests, this fine engraving needle has a pointed tip rather than the hooked one seen in our engraving blades. This allows easier scribing of curved details.

• Fine Engraving Needle x1

• Total length: 25mm. Shank diameter: 2mm. Needle point angle is 20°.

• Crafted from cemented carbide, with a precision finish.

• Recommended for use with dedicated holder: Item 74139 Engraving Blade Holder. Also compatible with Fine Pin Vise D (Item 74050) and D-R (Item 74112).

• Simply hold and pull lightly across the surface to score it. Repeat as necessary to achieve a clearly-defined result.

• Comes in a case that can hold up to ten needles, and separately sold engraving blades.

What nozzle size do I need for miniatures?

0.3mm is the versatile all-rounder for base coats and priming; 0.2mm suits fine detail work. Larger nozzles (0.5mm) are for terrain and big surfaces.

Do I need a compressor with a tank?

A tank smooths the airflow and reduces pulsing, giving more consistent results — worth it if you spray regularly, but tankless compressors work fine for occasional use.

How do I keep an airbrush working well?

Flush with airbrush cleaner between colours and strip-clean after each session. Most spraying problems are cleaning problems.
