ZPT-BL The Balaur. The finest Fossil Prep Air Scribe EVER made! | ZOIC PalaeoTech

The Balaur was designed exclusively for the final stages of fossil preparation. This air scribe will make you the best preparator you can be! The most advanced and accurate air scribe for detailed, finishing work and prepping even the most fragile fossils in all types of rock. Perfect for working under high magnification or a microscope, but this air scribe will also be a game-changer with just the naked eye.
You can customise the Balaur exactly to your requirements.
Adjust the pressure using the pressure regulator
Adjust the beats per minute using the BPM adjustor
Adjust the impact profile by choosing a hard spring or a soft spring
Choose the perfect tungsten carbide stylus for the job! Chisel or point? A variety of diameters available.
All rocks fracture and break at differing levels of power and frequencies depending upon their individual mechanical characteristics. This fact is at the heart of the degree of customisation of the Balaur. A combination of spring, selected stroke number and pressure will provide the best results for a job where the matrix will “pop” cleanly off the specimen. We have marked the settings on the BPM adjuster, making it easy to recreate the perfect settings for different types of fossil.

Man, that's a good tool. But it's pretty expensive.

Hello, I am new to fossil prepping and I was wondering what is the difference between this and and micro air abrasive. Is there any reason I would need this if I plan to get a micro air abrasive?

[@zoicpalaeotech]

Hi! There are many situations where air abrasives can't be used - it could be that the fossil is softer than the encasing rock, or that the abrasive powder would damage the surface of the fossil. We find that we get a better finish with the Balaur under the microscope on the vast majority of fossils, even where abrasives could be used, although it is naturally much more time consuming.

@@zoicpalaeotech got it, thank you for the clarification!
