Sale Lee Valley Easy Wood Unhandled Mid-Size Tools

With the same shanks and innovative tip design as Easy Wood’s mid-size turning tools, these unhandled tools are available for those who want to create their own handles, whether for a custom fit or simply as a practical and interesting spindle-turning project.

Easy to master, the completed tools yield remarkably smooth forms that require minimal sanding. Unlike regular turning tools, which require a complex sweeping motion to maintain a smooth cut, they are designed to work by simply advancing or retracting the tip as you move them across the tool rest. Each has a tip made of durable carbide, so it retains a sharp edge through long use.

The screw-mounted tips can be loosened and rotated to expose a fresh edge once they eventually show signs of wear, and all can be easily removed for replacement.

Each measures 9″ overall, including a 1 7/8″ tang. Ferrule not included.

Primarily used to remove large amounts of material, the roughing tool is also capable of finishing cuts on outside curves. It comes fitted with a 7/16″ square cutter.

The finisher has a round tip (7/16″ diameter) for shaping and smoothing inside vessels or cutting coves on spindles.

Used in place of a small gouge, the detailer has a 1 1/16″ × 3/8″ double-ended diamond-shaped tip that excels at cutting narrow beads or coves and is handy for cutting dovetail recesses for chuck jaws.

Other optional tips are available separately: a square cutter with 2″ radius edges, as well as a 3/8″ diameter round detailing tip and a 1/16″ × 3/8″ diamond-shaped finishing cutter with negative-rake edges for smooth cuts when turning denser hardwoods, resin and other materials prone to chatter.

Excellent tools. Made in USA.
