# Best Wire Tip Wood Burners: Pyrography Machines Compared Source: https://burnandgrain.com/best/best-wire-tip-wood-burner Publisher: Burn and Grain. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://burnandgrain.com/how-we-pick A wire tip wood burner is a different machine from a solid-point pen: a power unit with a dial feeds a light pen whose tip is a loop of bent nichrome wire, so it heats and cools quickly and draws finer lines. If you are moving up from a brass-tip pen, the budget pyrography machines here differ in four ways a listing can state: rated power, temperature range, one pen or two, and how many wire nibs are included. A dual pen station keeps a writing tip on one pen and a shader on the other and switches with a toggle; a 2-in-1 station adds a solid-point pen for transfer and stamp tips. A dial figure is the maker's setting, not a measured tip temperature, so test on scrap of the same wood. Razertip, Colwood and Burnmaster units sit in a higher price class and are not covered here. Nothing below was tested: every detail comes from the Amazon listings, and where a listing gives no wattage the table says so. ## Picks ### 1.
