Choose an option to view item availability.
Easy to master, these turning tools are scaled for smaller work, yielding remarkably smooth forms that require minimal sanding.
Unlike regular gouges, which require a complex sweeping motion to maintain a smooth cut, these 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; when they eventually show signs of wear, simply loosen the screw mount and rotate the tip to expose a fresh edge.
The rougher comes with a 7/16" square tip for rapid material removal and accepts an optional 7/16" cutter with edges rounded to a 2" radius for work on curves. The detailer has a 1 1/16" double-ended diamond-shaped tip that excels at cutting narrow beads and coves, as well as dovetail recesses for chuck jaws. The finisher has a 7/16" diameter round tip for shaping and smoothing inside vessels or cutting coves on spindles.
Measuring 12 1/2" overall, each tool has a solid maple handle, black-oxide steel shaft and nickel-plated steel ferrule. Excellent tools, made in the USA.
