Default Phil Coggan bulino template

Phil has helped with a new sharpening template. It is for the bulino point he uses. A batch of them has been made and they are ready to be shipped. The template is $20. Shipping is $3 within the U.S. There is a paypal link just for it there on the sharpening page.

What is the difference between this template and your 'old' 70 degree bulino?

I suppose
You have just 3 angles
you don't have a heel
and the angle of point is perhaps approximatively 80°

The V angle is 90 degrees. There are four facets to it. The fourth one is down low. Phil is that one just giving a little more clearance on the bottom?

Phil, It does take some time to grind the taper facets on the bottom. This must be why you can get many sharpenings out of it and still have a small face. The taper is gradual. What sized face do you like on it?

The tip is as small as you can get it (within reason)for really fine work, about 0.25mm/0.3mm. Across the face.
The bottom facet is not important, it's just for clearance.

Got mine on order!

I've been meaning to make up a similar graver thanks to a tip I got on doing bulino work, so having an idiot-proof (well, nearly) way to do it will make life easier.

Looks very good. It is similar to the tools I saw used for Bulino in Italy by engravers such as Fracassi, Torcoli, and Pedersoli.
Thanks Phil, I think I will have to order one.

Austin,
I use this for all gamescene lines and dots, my recent thread 'Lions' shows the work this tool can produce, I also use it on scroll shading and some scrollwork but with a bigger tip.

Phil
