Widia Point for Cuturi Type P Pneumatic Hammer (Pen) – Marble and Stone Engraving

The Widia point for the Cuturi Type P pneumatic hammer represents the natural extension of the artist's hand. Used in combination with the renowned pneumatic pen, it enables millimetric control and impeccable definition even on the most complex sculptural details. It is the tool of choice for sculptors, stonemasons, and restorers seeking excellence in micro-sculpture, epigraphy (lettering), and stone engraving. Thanks to the hardness of tungsten carbide, this point combines the sensitivity of a manual stroke with the constant power of a pneumatic system, guaranteeing professional finishes on all types of stone surfaces.

Technical Features and Key Benefits

• Tungsten Carbide (Widia) Insert: Manufactured with a high-grade hard metal insert that maintains a sharp cutting edge significantly longer than traditional steel. It is capable of working hard materials such as marble, granite, limestone, and other stone-based materials.
• Anti-Vibration Engineering: Thanks to the cylindrical shank calibrated to a tenth of a millimetre, the point ensures a stable and perfect fit into the Type P hammer. This results in a smooth transmission of kinetic energy, drastically reducing hand and wrist fatigue.
• Precision-Optimised Geometry: The sharp-pointed configuration is engineered to provide maximum visibility of the working area. It is indispensable for lettering, bas-relief, anatomical detailing, stone engraving, and architectural restoration.

Technology and Operation

Designed to interface with the renowned "pneumatic pen" by Gino Cuturi, this point utilises a high-precision mechanical principle: air pressure drives an internal piston that transmits high-frequency impulses to the tool. These controlled micro-vibrations allow for the material to be engraved with extreme delicacy, transforming pneumatic force into a fluid and sensitive motion, very much like the stroke of a pencil on stone.

Professional Versatility and Performance

Whether for light roughing (precision shaping) or ornamental finishing, this point offers unparalleled consistency in performance, allowing you to:

• Remove material in a targeted, rapid, and efficient manner.
• Reduce the risk of chipping or unwanted fractures in the stone substrate.
• Define intricate textures, facial features, and decorative details on funerary monuments or works of art.

Maintenance Advice

To preserve the integrity of the insert and ensure flawless results, it is recommended to work at the pressure specified by the manufacturer and to sharpen the cutting edge exclusively with silicon carbide wheels or diamond sharpening wheels, avoiding excessive overheating.
