The Axe™ replaceable carbide tip woodturning tools from Carter Products are setting a new industry standard in the turning world. Made in the USA, the unique design of these tools features a 16" solid Maple handle. Ergonomically shaped, the handles have two large flats incorporated to provide positive registration in the hand while providing hours of comfortable turning. Another feature of these tools is the 5/8" round 303 stainless steel tool bar. A 1/2" flat has been machined onto the tool bar to provide a secure purchase on the tool rest.
No longer will you need to worry about sharpening your turning tools. With two razor-sharp cutting points available, simply loosen the set screw and rotate the cutter to a new point when one becomes dull. Additionally the design of the cutters does not require you to “find the bevel” like traditional turning tools. Place the tool onto the rest flat and parallel to the ground, advance the tool slowly into the workpiece, and begin cutting.
The design of The Axe Diamond Tool is perfect for parting off projects, creating beads, coves, V-grooves or a dovetail for 4-jaw chucking applications. Other Carter tools available include: The Axe Square Replaceable Bit Full Size Carbide Turning Tool (#162508) and The Axe Round Replaceable Bit Full Size Carbide Turning Tool (#162509).
