I need to sharpen my air scribe tip and was wondering if I would be able to use a dremel with a diamond attachment?

Sweenyb,

I use the carbide sanding belt on my cabocon machine. In a pinch I use the top of my diamond cutoff wheel on my dremel. Make sure you turn the stylus a slow steady rate to keep it even and dont go to far into the part that holds the tungsten carbide tip.

sweeneyb..... I just use a 4" electric grinder fitted with a metal grinding disc, when i have to.... rarely do i have to they naturally stay sharpish as they wear evenly rotating as the reciprocate.... check your air pressure to.... sometimes if you have it to high you get tip problems.... I think the pens run at 90PSI?, but I use a little below that...
