Pencil Questions

First of all is there a kit for 0.5 lead?

And two, has anyone ever made pencils that use the Zebra M-301

There are many 0.5 lead kits. CSUSA has the thin line, father sing and click pencils. I wish they made more 0.7 kits.

If you buy the Pentel pencil, you can turn a body to fit the guts of the 0.7 mm.

I think there might even be a tutorial somewhere on this site that explains how to step drill for this pen (or spend a bunch and buy the CSUSA step bit).

I actually have a new and revised turorial on how to do this using a pin chuck and it is much easier. I need to send it to Jeff so he can post it also. Email me and I can send the "new and improved" version.
Do a good turn daily!

The Pentel pencil comes in sizes up to .9 mm. CSUSA no longer carries the step drill.

Actually the Father Sing is a .7mm pencil. The Perfect Fit Convertable is also a .7mm pencil. I agree with kent4Him, I wish they made more that are .7mm.
