Set of six standard length carbide chisels. $317.00 price means we pay the shipping.
These carbide tipped wood turning chisels are 16 1/2 inches long with cushioned replaceable handles for your extreme comfort and enjoyment. (Yeah, you're right, it's a golf club grip.) The carbide inserts are factory ground to our specifications by a major carbide supplier. It's an extremely hard grade, 91 Rockwell hardness, and holds an edge indefinitely. The smooth grind and precise bevel angle leaves a great finish. Much greater spindle speeds are possible than with steel chisels without dulling the cutter, which not only saves time in turning, the greater speed also leaves a better finish that requires less sanding. Use flat like a scraper for shaping, then turn to an angle and sweep slowly as a shearing scraper for the finishing cut. The tools will make finish cuts that require almost no sanding. Because they operate so well at high speeds, end grain cuts are smooth and free from catching and grabbing, unless you let the spindle speeds fall too low. The only limitations on spindle speeds are the solidity of the wood, the machine and the attachments between the two. The cutters will handle higher speeds than you will ever use. My first turning experience with these chisels was in turning a large pedestal from mesquite for a table. By the time I got the pedestal rounded off and running true, I had the speed up so high that I had to wear a glove on my left hand because the shavings were so hot coming off the workpiece that it was starting to burn my hand, and the cutter still didn't dull. When (finally) the cutter starts getting dull, you can loosen the screw with an Allen wrench,(provided) and rotate the cutter to a new position. When it is dull all the way around you can either sharpen it with a diamond file, take it to the saw shop, or return it to me for sharpening. We sell the replacemen cutters, to our chisel cusomer only, for $15 each. These woodturning tools are $54 each. $7.00 shipping on this item regardless of quantity ordered will be automatically added at checkout. Shipped by USPS priority mail. Thanks for looking.
