This small, symmetrical spade tip is ideal for burning wood or cork. Wood takes a higher temperature that cork so make sure you use a lower setting.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital scale is perfect for measuring tiny distances such as wood thickness.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits red dots on the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
