Product Description
MID SIZE Simple 55 Detailer - Carbide Woodturning Tool
Available unhandled or with a 12" solid aluminum handle of your color choice.
This tool is perfect for cutting small details like those seen on the pictured bird house ornament. Also it's ideal for cutting a dovetail tennon for mounting turnings in a 4-jaw chuck. Other examples are spindle details and anything else were fine details are desired. This tool can also be used as a parting tool.
To use the Mid Size Simple 55 Detailer just follow these 3 simple steps.
- Position the tool rest as close to the work as possible so the carbide cutter is at the lathe center line.
- Place the tool on the tool rest with the tool shaft parallel with the floor.
- While securely holding the tool slowly move the carbide cutter into the work.
Because of the small tool shaft the tool should not extend past the tool rest more then 3 inches
