You'll find that you can work more quickly and more accurately with the right kit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use the same top quality, high grade tungsten carbide in our Dremel nibs as we do in our air tools.

On harder rocks, we suggest that you use the short stylus for matrix removal. This is due to the nature of the tungsten carbide - it withstands the abrasive nature of rock far better than other materials (and doesn't lose it's sharpness), but it is brittle by nature meaning that if too much counter-pressure is applied the edges may chip.

The NUAIR Super Silent TECH OL244\/24 24l Direct Drive Air Compressor is a powerful little air compressor for its size. Running at only 62-66dB, the noise can be overpowered by a little background music! Oil-less design means low maintenance and no risk of oil spillage. Will comfortably run all ZOIC PalaeoTech air pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal overload cutout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure regulator and dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuro female quick-connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24l tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper quiet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1584004430602_164712\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"line-item-details custom-fields\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1584004430602_114414\" class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" data-block-type=\"47\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1584004430602_135090\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe Protective Equipment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFFP3 Face Mask\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSafety Goggles\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThis kit comes with an\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFFP3 face mask\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is recommended as a minimum for fossil preparation.
