What air scribes are compatible with the Paleo Aro 2.5" stylus?

[Trilobite Enthusiast]

I am new to fossil prep, so I figured that air scribe tips would be highly cross compatible.

 

I recently bought two air scribes: one Chicago scribe and one Fossil Shack air scribe.

 

Additionally, because I read it was good, I bought a Paleo Aro 2.5" stylus.

 

It is very sharp, which is excellent, but when I tried to put in in either of my air scribes, it was too wide to fit through the head hole.

 

Would I need to get a whole different air scribe to use the tip, or would I be able to attach a head from Paleotools to the Fossil Shack scribe I already have?

Probably the best source for an answer would be Paleotools.

It would work to use their front end and bushing on the Fossil Shack air scribe.

Here is a qoute from their website. "This front end will screw onto ANY of the Aro and the Aro knock-off tools and work satisfactorily."
