2.3 Lead pointer for leadholders
Leadholders require different points due to the variety of applications they are used for:
a blunt point for normal writing and a very sharp point for drawing.
Illustration 18: Writing and drawing points for
leadholders
The triangular symbols next to the small holes indicate
the different kinds of points.
The fine, sharp point on the left is suitable for drawing,
the normal point on the right (shown as being slightly
blunt) is for writing.
The holes are used for setting the amount of lead
protrusion.
Place the leadholder point with the preset level of lead
protrusion in the pointer’s main hole and turn
(see ill. 19
) until the resistance eases off. The lead is now
sharpened.
Any graphite dust on the lead can be removed by gently
twisting the sharpened lead around in the cleaning device
(light-coloured hole in the bottom centre of the
illustration).
