Does this iron come with a tip suitable for stained glass use, I think it is chisel tip?

I ordered the iron as a gift so I checked with the user this morning. She uses it exclusively for stained glass and she thinks it works very well. It does have what you might call a chisel tip. It looks like a thin blade screwdriver, flat when looking from the top, narrow when looking from the side. Hope this helps.

YES!!! The tip that comes with it is perfect for stained glass work. That is what I am using this iron for and it works great. I'm new to stained glass and I am working with someone that is very advanced in making stained glass and she loves this iron! She will use it over using her own.

It's a small, possibly 1/16th inch chisel tip. small enough for P.C. boards but too small for big soldering jobs that require a lot of heat transfer

Solder is not pointy nor chiseled. I think you're referring to a soldering iron. The size of this solder 1/16" thick weighing 4 oz.

For leaded glass or copper foil I'd be looking for 100 Watt+ iron and a nice fat chisel tip.

The tip of the flat irons are a bit round, but does not include the plates. It is the purple one pictured.

It depends on how polished you want the tool to be. Obviously 1000 grit is not 8000 so if you want that refinement the answer is no. However, personally I used to use aluminum oxide sand paper on a 3/8" piece of glass to sharpen chisles, plane irons, gouges, etc. finishing at about 320 grit. To me it was good enough for bench chisels and carving tools. At 1000 grit, the diamond stone is way better and it cuts in a fraction of the time. I tend to want to be practical at the quality of a cutting edge and not at the expense of time. I can sharpen a bench chisel in about 5 minutes with the diamond stone. I can't come close to that with water stones. They are too slow for me.

Not that I know of. It came with 3 extra tips but they are all the same size.

The brush is the same, but the chisel end is a fine point not a squared chisel. And there are some limited colors that are really hard to get

Besides what you see in the photo, no. This tool comes with a cutting, spade, round and soldering tips. This a good tool for the hobbyist not the professional.

As far as more available tips. You will get a sheet that is in the packaging from the original manufacture that more available tips that you can order. And as far as the tips that are provided , I still haven't gone through them yet and it's been quite a while since I've had this thing. I suppose it would make a difference as far as how long they will last depending on the material your using as a back drop to cut your stencils with. Hope this helps... :-)

Looks it. I ruined two finishes/ makers. Discovered that pearl sugar removes the finish. #3's finish is flawless cuz I do not use the sugar recipe anymore. I like this easy to use maker but wish it were cast iron.

I use the t up that came with the iron. I keep it clean by werring. it constantly in a wet sponge on my holder,and when I finish a session clean it off better. it still works for me. it should stand to re as son that the manufacturer would provide the recommeded tip.

I don't think it has a tip-saver feature but i think its good since i use woodless graphite pencils and i think its good for normal pencils if you use it in the correct way it can be a great sharpener.

I have a blue tip that came with the machine and a yellow tip that was purchased separately. They are exactly the same tip, just different color.

I use it with this chalk marker: NeoChalk Liquid Chalk Marker Chisel Tip - White successfully. Although, I would look for a finer tipped marker next time. The marker does work well on the paper, and erases easily with a damp paper towel.

This is as small as you get unless you want to use a point. For holes, you can use a drill bit. This is for notching out a small area in a wall of stucco or concrete. Aside from breaking small amounts of concrete, I mostly use this chisel to install 25mm tubing for wires in stucco walls. I can cut almost a straight line with this chisel. The Bosch tip is the best and will last the longest. The chisel head width is approx. 2cm or 3/4 inch.
