Mechanical/Drafting pencils which Brand or Model?

[Donny]

When I draw I try to draw to scale so I use .3mm (.35mm) or .5mm Mechanical/Drafting pencils. What do you use and which Brand or Model?

Currently I use the Rotring 600

I can use various drawing pencils but I spend a lot of time sharpening them. Do you use these and if so which Brand and model?


AND what hardness do you prefer???

koh-in-orhs & pentels work for me in all sizes-.3 to .9. hardness-- i prefer soft for most work. seems to do less damage to a surface with the "cirelli sauce" i use to coat the metal. i use the .7 &.9 for drawing on paper only.

Love my Alvin Draftmatics. But I wish someone would come up with a better system than those darn little caps for the erasers. Always disappearing to some corner of the room.
