New Ultra-Shear woodturning tools are fitted with premium, American made nano-grain carbide cutters, for improved cutting & edge retention.
Carbide-tipped insert turning tools provide unique advantages for woodturners. They make it easier to start woodturning and eliminate the chore of sharpening your tools - a revolution in woodturning. With their new Ultra-Shear tools, Woodpeckers has taken carbide-tipped turning tools to the next level.
First generation carbide tools used flat bar stock for the shaft which greatly improved turning technique. With Woodpeckers unique shank design you can still keep the tool sitting flat and level on the toolrest which greatly simplifies the cutting process and increases the likelihood for safe, predictable and satisfying results. Woodpecker's design on the Full and Mid sized tools, however, incorporates a 45° bevel "flat" on the bottom edges that allow you to tilt the tools to take finishing shearing cuts, while the tool shank remains flat, level & stable on the tool rest. You maintain maximum control, while achieving the smoothest cuts possible. So in practice when you're almost finished, tilt the tool over onto the beveled surface (keep the handle parallel to the floor) and you'll be making a shear cut. Grain tear out is lessened, along with the need for follow up sanding!
The Pen-sized tools are just too small for bevels on the shaft to be stable. However, the bottom of the shaft is rounded so you can still tip the tools over to get a shearing cut. You'll have to hold on a little tighter, but the tools are small so it shouldn't be a problem.
Sizes
- Pen Size tools are intended for pen turners (obviously), but you can also use them for turning other small projects. They are 12-1/4" overall length with 9" hard maple handles.
Cutter Shapes
- Round – for inside curves and finish turning
Each Woodpecker Ultra-Shear Carbide Turning Tool comes with a wrench for changing the cutter and a spare cutter screw.
