Razertip pyrography tools & portable dust collectors

You are probably asking yourself - what the heck is a pyrographic tool? Well, a pyrographic tool is the proper name to describe the Razertip^® wood burner and what it does. Pyrography means, literally, to draw with heat (or fire). Whatever you call it, Razertip^® pyrography tools have been setting the standard for hot-wire pyrographic tools since the mid 1980's. While they were designed to add feather detail to bird carvings, owners of our burners have amazed us with some of the other materials that they use it on. Leather, gourds... etc.

2010 marks our 25th year in business. Once again, our product development team has been at it again, even though we have over 600 tips, we have introduced a new line of heavy duty tips. This new series of 60 Feather Formers^™ will be of special interest to bird carvers and will speed up the task of adding feather detail to their carvings. Customers like you are responsible for many of the suggestions that lead to new tip shapes that may be used for burning designs on wood, leather, paper, gourds, and almost anything that can be marked with a hot tip. Razertip tools have also been used for cutting synthetic fabrics, shaping wax, trimming and welding plastic, cotterizing, and even for branding fish! Perhaps that explains why there are now so many tip shapes.

As always, we are proud of each and every item we make, from the smallest tip to our Razaire^™530 portable dust management system. We're also proud to be represented by over 150 dealers in Canada, the USA, Australia, Norway, France, Holland, Italy, Denmark and the UK (and the list keeps growing). Of course we are always happy to take direct orders, but we strongly encourage you to check with your local dealer first, and be sure to support them. Local dealers support various clubs and groups and are able to provide quick assistance should you ever need it. Frankly, without the support of our excellent dealer network, Razertip^® would not be where it is today. And speaking of clubs, they are the ones responsible for the huge number of shows all across North America. I urge you to not only support your local show by attending and/or entering some of your work, but by volunteering to help plan the show. I talk to many people involved in organizing shows, and they all have at least one thing in common: a lack of volunteers. By getting involved you will meet some of the nicest people possible (almost every carver I've met falls into this category), and you will be helping to promote a great activity.

A Note about design, reliability and service: We believe that a good tool should do exactly what it claims and do it well. As the primary designer of all Razertip^® pyrography tools and Razaire^™ portable dust collectors, I design them first for myself. As a professinal carver for nearly 25 years, I have a pretty good idea what I want in a tool. If I wouldn't buy it myself, I wouldn't expect you to. For that reason, we want to offer you exactly the type of service I expect from my favorite suppliers and tool makers. You have a full month to test drive anything we sell. If it's not what you expected, you can return it for exchange or for a full refund. If you have any suggestions that would improve our tools for your application, please, let us know. And don't ever throw out a broken pen or burner - they are almost always worth repairing.
