Spring loaded Sharpie

Post by Mtw fdu »

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but am after a picture of the marker used to draw a pattern before cutting it. Have seen it on here before but can't seem to find it again.

Thanks in advance.

I went a different route and used a pen insert so I could get a finer line and it will not dry out like a sharpie will when sitting not being used. I turned the plastic to fit the torch holder. The bolt at the top is for pressure adjusting the pen insert. It allows me to use the floating head as the insert will retract and the outer part will trip the switch.

We tape a tube to the cutting head, drop a sharpie in, and put a small piece of rod on top of the sharpie for weight. Works like a champ for free.
