Is there a great deal of difference between the Colwood Cub and the Detailer? I'm not a pyrographer but will be getting one of them to do burning on my carvings. Or would I be better off with a different type? I already have a Dremel versatip burner but it isn't adequate. |

I'm not a pyrographer either but sometimes use my Detailer to outline my carvings or to add hair or detail. I'd recommend spending a few extra bucks and going with the Detailer just in case you do decide to expand your work at a later date. One feature that I like about the Detailer over the Cub is that it has a seperate on/off switch so that you can leave your heat setting where it is, take a break, and then get back to work with out fiddlin' around just by hitting the on/off switch.
