Thanks @Randyw - trust me you guys make me jealous with your trilos that only take an expert an hour to prep!

Thanks guys - theres a couple of just carapace ones - I plan on using them for ventral preps to get my skill there up a bit...

 

AND - I have finally gotten the nib off the CP710!!  I'll put a new one on it and have a talk to an engineer relative & see if he can make me a custom one out of a tungsten drill bit.

Dunno if anyone recognises this feller -  crab, flabellum and shark tooth!

 

I have a few that I just havent finished - so I I thought its time I had a go at "tidying up" some.  Just using the diamond ball on a rotary tool.

I do apologize guys - I lost this thread and forgot I was updating my finds here :(  I think my only other one was my "Sanity Crab" and that stalled along with my sanity.

 

I found my CP710 nib was too blunt and literally hammering everything to pieces (in a small way).

 

Anyway, even wifey talked me into getting a CP 9130 clone...


I have only spent 10 minutes behind it, but yep.  Its a step up.  And once I get some proper stylii for it - LOOKOUT CRABS!!  The original needle nib on this new one is at least 4x as accurate as my 710 at its best.  I dont know If the jack end will be good for much other than the really soft ones..  
I also feel the difference in wielding the tool, its actually more difficult as its heavier and the hose is heavier, but I will overcome that easily.  Its also a lot louder but seems to use quite a bit less air.

Anyway, look forward to more from me - I got quiet when I went through the last 710 nib in existance - I even contacted an engineer to see if he could make one but narp...
