This short video gives you a visual user manual for the ZOIC PalaeoTech ZPT-TB Trilobite air scribe. We talk you through what comes in the box, how to plug your tool into the compressor for the first time, how to turn the tool on, some hints for use in the workshop, basic maintenance and some troubleshooting steps.
The Trilobite is our budget air scribe, and helps beginners ease into the world of pneumatic fossil preparation with an affordable start. But, it's not out of place either in a larger, more equipped workshop! Some of the top museums in the world have at least one of the Trilobites. The Trilobite is an entry-level fossil preparation tool, developed to provide an affordable air tool specifically suited to fossil preparation. Although not as powerful or refined as our ZOIC PalaeoTech PRO range of pneumatic tools, the Trilobite is multipurpose, robust and precise. It is an all-rounder air pen designed to cover everything from moderate matrix removal to fine work.
At ZOIC PalaeoTech, we are proud of the quality of our tooling, so rest assured that the Trilobite will last many, many, many years if maintained properly. Maintenance is easy, and should only take a few seconds here and there. These tools don't need much attention, but good maintenance will make them last even longer.
