Tungsten Needle in Neumann Ms 52H

[Jccc]

i just narrowed down one of those tungsten needles off of ebay to fit inside a Neumann MS 52H cutting head.

I am waiting for my adaptor to arrive in the mail to mount the cutting head onto my Presto.

i will get back with results on how it goes.

Ouch… you're sure the taper is correct?

that head looks cool would love to hear some cuts!

The SX74 & 68 have a 1 in 20 taper.

HTH,

not so the MS52. but this one already has some adaptor for smaller styli.
but why not just force a big nail into a precision device made for small gems...

i had a adaptor made by Len Horowitz to fit a 320 stylus.

i measured the diameter of the 320 stylus and it is around 1.21 mm or so .

from there i took a tungsten shank from ebay and carefully narrowed t down to the diameter to fit inside the 320 stylus adaptor.

i have done a test with it embossing in polycarbonate and it seems to work quite well.

i am using a special adaptor made by Agnew to mount the Neumann head onto the Presto cutting head mount.
