| Q: What is the difference between a re-grind and re-tip? | |
|
A re-grind may occur when the existing
tipping of a nib is wide enough, or wider, than the desired
end result of customization. For example, a pen can be re-ground
from a Medium to Medium Stub because the customization is
for a same width tip. A pen can also be reground from a Medium
to a Fine or Extra Fine rounded point because the request
is to go from a Medium tip to something smaller.
|
|
| A re-tip may be necessary when the existing tipping is not as broad as that which is desired. For example, a customer would like to go from a Medium to Broad, or wider, nib. In cases like this the existing tipping has to be physically removed and a new pellet must be welded onto the tines to accommodate the new tip. Any broader customization will require a re-tip. | |
