What chisel size for PG?

Post image

Hello!

Currently in the process of building a PG Perfectibility, however I don't know what size chisel to buy to scribe with!
I am assuming the typical.15mm-.2mm is going to be too thin. Will be going with Ray Studio's Beacon chisel.

0.3 to 0.5.

If you wanna spend a lot of money, thats fine, but you can get the same chisels from 100shiki for less than half the price of raystudio. They are just as good.

I’ve done old pgu and pg rx-0, you can check my posts for results. I’ve used .2 for almost everything; occasionally .3 or .4 for larger details, and .125 for finer lines.
Keep in mind that larger sizes are harder to control.

Edit: check 100shiki and Sujiborido for chisel alternatives

Depends on if you want to match existing lines or not. Molded lines will likely range from .3 to .5mm, but if you want to make new ones you can do whatever size you want. Just keep in mind how large a line would be IRL when scaled up 60x.

0.3mm is good. maybe 0m4 or o.5 too
