Hi All,

Can you name what type of cutting needle this is? Is it a Sapphire? Sorry if the pictures aren't too great. It measures about 11/16 inch long and being used with my Presto K10.

Thanks!

I am pretty sure it is a sapphire cutting needle. Not sure about the who, what, when, etc though.

Does anybody know where I could buy a new one of these? It has no color that I can see, so I am thinking its a white sapphire maybe?? Thanks!

Do you cut lacquers?

Its states they are virgin PVC. I do not know a lot about the different types.

Thanks!!

So you need a diamond stylus, not a sapphire that won't cut... and even with a diamonds, the results won't be glorious and will break the tip
prematurely.
