Do you need to buy a special kind of lead for it?

the lead that comes with it has the best ratio of hardens vs it rotation so it can stay sharp, too soft = rotation can't keep up and vise versa

From what I can tell with their "special uni kuru" lead they sell, you should probably buy the special lead that has softer outside vs inside, because it will allow the autosharpening thing to work better.

I was not aware that this product may contain lead. I will have to check the potential of hazard.

It comes with a small amount of lead free solder. See the picture of the iron, the solder is the coiled up in the middle.

No, I have used it and it just glass. No lead. I would not buy if it did. A friend of mine bought in a store years ago.....he had no issues with lead. I just happen to find it on Amazon.

With pretty light use, I can no longer get it to feed lead. I have to unscrew the first 2 tip components, feed it out, and carefully slide and screw the tips back in every time I want more lead. Is there any way to fix this?

Dear Don, one has to order one's lead separately. It comes in B, my personal favorite, F, 2B, H, 2H, etc. depending on how soft or hard you like your lead. 4H is very hard and B is softest I believe.

I can find no place where lead would be used. It is all wood and hand crafted.

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

To the best of my knowledge there is no lead. I would find it difficult to believe that any item intended for food or drinks would be permitted to be sold unless marked for decorative purposes only.

Why would anyone? Its plastic not painted metal and its new. It should not have lead.

I wouldn't think so. It is the same thing as the lead in a common wood lead pencil that kids have been chewing on for many decades with no harm to them. Might be a different story with it wet because graphic is dry so it has to have some else in the product.

Yes. The leads need to be soldered to the pickup selection switch and the back of one of the pots.

I think the shorter lead would be best I think it's 4 feet long. If you're asking about thickness, then this would be good. It's a very strong lead. I use it with my 50th pit.

I don't remember, I didn't think this was an issues at the time of purchase so I wasn't actively looking it. Why do you think there would be lead in there to begin with?

You would need to use a mechanical pencil of lead sized 0.5mm or less. Anything bigger or the normal (non-mechanical) pencils are too big.

It is just for appearance. I don't think it is actually lead. It gives it a nice look instead of plain glass.

I HIGHLY recommend the diamond infused lead... some comes with the pack... regular lead will break too easy... You can really tell the difference....
