2mm diameter tungsten carbide rounded chisel for the ZPT-TB The Trilobite with pusher-plate o-ring and chisel-compatible spring. Manufactured from stone-grade tungsten carbide.

 

This chisel will not rotate when in use, due to our locking mechanism. The custom spring acts to hold the chisel in place. 

The rounded chisel is the most useful all-rounder chisel. The rounded chisel works better on harder matrix. 

When you order this stylus, you get:

  • 1 x rounded chisel stylus
  • 1 x pusher plate o-ring
  • 1 x chisel-compatible spring

Spare springs are available separately. 

 

What is tungsten carbide?

Stone-grade tungsten carbide is by far the best material for fossil preparation – it withstands the abrasive nature of rock and stays sharp far longer than other metals like steel which will quickly blunt and wear down to nothing. However, tungsten carbide can be brittle. A stylus can last many years without requiring replacement when looked after correctly.

Purchased because I dropped the scribe, and of course it was tip down! Picked it up in person, highly recommend it if you can, as they have a workshop where you can try all the tools, and they're so friendly!

I purchased this as a spare tip for my Trilobite scribe and tried it out last night. Well what can I say? The upgrade in power over the pointed chisel was very evident, it moves matrix cleanly and efficiently. great for use after initial preparation with my Chicago. I love the ability it has to remove small layers of matrix while still having the delicacy and precision needed at this stage. Works well on soft limestone and equally well on the harder Yorkshire pyrite limestone with just a bit of adjustment to the air pressure. The anti rotation of the chisel means that you don't have to worry about the angle changing all the time. All in all a super upgrade to an amazing air scribe. Thanks Neil K

Received this shortly after ordered it’s a great piece of kit and completely changes the trilobite air pen into a chisel and works very well on harder rock like limestone would definitely recommend it
