A type of lightweight transfer paper used for duplicating typewriting, pencil, or pen writing. The paper is coated on one side with dark pigment and a medium, typically a mix of waxes and oils, that is transferred to a copying surface such as paper by the impact of writing pressure or typewriter keys. Smudgeproof carbon paper has an additional coating of plastic lacquer.

Cutting wheels, or cut-off wheels, differ from grinding wheels in their function and structure. Where grinding wheels use an abrasive to grind large pieces of material off a workpiece from a shallow angle, cutting wheels typically make narrow, precise cuts at 90-degree angles.

General term for a solid marking substance in the form of a slender rod, which is then enclosed in a cylinder of wood, metal, or plastic to form a "pencil (drawing and writing equipment)." Common examples of materials used in "pencils (drawing and writing equipment)" are graphite, lead, and pigmented wax.

A sewing needle, used for hand-sewing, is a long slender tool with a pointed tip at one end and a hole (or eye) to hold the sewing thread. The earliest needles were made of bone or wood; modern needles are manufactured from high carbon steel wire and are nickel- or 18K gold-plated for corrosion resistance. High-quality embroidery needles are plated with two-thirds platinum and one-third titanium alloy. Traditionally, needles have been kept in needle books or needlecases which have become objects of adornment.[1] Sewing needles may also be kept in an étui, a small box that held needles and other items such as scissors, pencils and tweezers

Paper made from thin layers of pith cut from two species of rice paper trees cultivated in China, Japan, and Thailand. The pith is cut in spirals to form long ribbons, the exposed cellular structure of the pith giving the paper a unique spongy structure. Rice paper is stretchy when wet and brittle when dry; it will crack when heated and is easily damaged by abrasion. Among other uses, rice paper was used for 19th-century Chinese watercolor paintings and artificial flowers. For handmade paper having long fibers from the paper mulberry, gampi, or mitsumata plant, use "Japanese paper." For soft, fine-textured paper of bamboo fiber originating in China, use "China paper."

-
Tough paper coated on one side with an abrasive material, such as sand, silica, garnet, silicon carbide, or aluminum oxide; used for smoothing and polishing. Sandpaper is sold in several grades of coarseness usually specified by the size sieve that the particles can pass through, e.g., 400 grit is finer than 100 grit.

-
Abrasive wheels or disks used for cutting or smoothing materials such as metal, glass, plastics, or clay. They are distinguished from grinding stones, which are of different design and typically for culinary use.
