Product Description
Combo set of 3 Simple Start Simple Woodturning Tools®, carbide wood turning tools with 8" solid aluminum handles. All tools in this set feature a square shaft that is designed to be kept flat on the tool rest and level with the floor.
- Handle Details: The most beautiful lathe tool handle on the market, 100% USA made by American craftsman. CNC machined from solid aircraft aluminum for balance, durability, and to last for years. Overall length is 8"; outside diameter is 1 3/16"; tool opening is 1/2" diameter. If needed, tools can be easily changed by loosening the two stainless steel set screws.
- Benefits of Carbide Lathe Tools: Simple to use for all skill levels making woodturning fast and more enjoyable. You can focus on your project and not on techniques or sharpening. No long learning curve or expensive sharpening equipment. You can begin turning as soon as your box arrives because each tool comes with a very sharp, rotatable carbide cutter. Just rotate the cutter head ¼ turn for a clean, sharp edge and you are back to turning wood.
- Simple Start Tool Details: CNC machined from 3/8” square stainless steel, making them stronger, stiffer and less likely to roll than round shaft tools. These professional tools feature an overall length of 6.5".
- Tool Use: The Simple Start Turner & Hollower is ideal for turning small pens, tops, bottle stoppers, etc. The Simple Start Rougher carbide tool makes roughing much simpler & less physical as most of the shock created by interrupted cuts is absorbed in the tool rest instead of your hands & arms. The Simple Start 55 Detailer carbide tool is perfect for cutting small details or a dovetail tennon. It can also be used as a parting tool.
- Tool Engraving: Each Simple Woodturning Tool® is engraved so you know exactly what tool you have. That makes finding replacement cutters very simple! SSTH = Simple Start Turner and Hollower. SSR = Simple Start Rougher. SS55D = Simple Start 55° Detailer
