Engraving on Dixon #2 school pencil and Ticonderoga Black #2 pencil. Used the "#2 Pencil Template" from Red on Atomm for my jig. I did noticed that the Dixon pencils were not as consistent as the Ticonderoga. Could be from the yellow coating not being consistent on the Dixon pencils.
Here's a link to Red's listing for the pencil jig:
