For a "right handed" grip on your pen.
The pen holder normally holds the pen parallel to the front face of the vertical pen slide, either vertically or at 45° from vertical.
This heavy-gauge aluminum adapter sits between the front face of the vertical slide and the pen clip, and serves to rotate the pen tip an additional 45°, not from vertical but out from parallel to the front face of the vertical slide. This gives your art machine the ability to hold a pen in a "right handed" grip, as opposed to the normal "center-handed" (for lack of a better description) position.
The right-handed grip makes it possible to hold the pen at a consistent angle suitable for use with regular pens, but also stub, italic, parallel, and chisel-point pens.
The italic pen adapter is made from anodized aluminum.
Compatibility:
This adapter is compatible with all Bantam Tools NextDraw™ pen plotters. It is also compatible with AxiDraw V3 and AxiDraw SE family pen plotters that mount the pen on a 2-hole vertical slide. Please contact us if you have questions about compatibility.
The italic pen adapter can be used both with the standard pen clip or with the XL pen clip (sold separately).
