Principle of Operation
The hot wire principle used by this machine has many advantages for pyrography. The point is a loop of wire held in screw clamps and heated by the electric current. The loop is pinched together at the tip to concentrate the heat. The points can work at a very high temperture so they burn a mark very quickly allowing free flowing strokes to be made with very little pressure just like using pen and ink. The heat control on the power unit gives precise and immediate control of point temperature up to white heat.
