Easy Wood Tools™

Easy to master, these unique turning tools yield remarkably smooth forms that require minimal sanding. Unlike regular bowl and spindle gouges, which require a complex sweeping motion to maintain a smooth cut, these scrapers are designed to work by simply advancing or retracting the tip as you move them across the tool rest. The tips are durable carbide for excellent edge retention; once they eventually begin to show signs of wear, simply loosen the screw mount and rotate the tip to expose a fresh edge. Reinforced with copper ferrules, the stout maple handles have a stepped profile for secure grip. Overall tool length listed in price lines.

The finishers have round tips (5/8" diameter on the full-size, 7/16" on the mini) for shaping and smoothing inside vessels or cutting coves on spindles. Used like a parting tool or small gouge, the detailers have 1" x 3/8" double-ended diamond-shaped tips that excel at cutting narrow beads or coves, and are handy for cutting dovetail recesses for chuck jaws.

Primarily used to remove full-size amounts of material, the roughing tools are also capable of finishing cuts on outside curves. The mini rougher comes with a 7/16" square tip, and accepts an optional 7/16" cutter with edges curved to a 2" radius. The full-size rougher comes fitted with a 9/16" cutter, with edges curved to a 4" radius. Two optional 9/16" tips are available separately: a cutter with 2" radius edges for forms under 8" in diameter, and a straight cutter for square shoulder cuts.
