Start the oiled tap, as straight as you can get it, into the chisel blade. The detailing insert was a surprise favorite Turns out, the detailer can do a using carbide wood turning tools more than detailing work. Just begin your turning as soon as you receive the tools. Pecan, Maple, Oak, and sometimes exotics I like the durability of carbide and toola sharpening. The position of the tool rest to lathe should be raised high enough where the carbide headcutter comes in contact with the center of your work piece.

Turned out I was lied to, had a partner who stole from me and in times where no man left behind means integrity to those we serve with, this guy my partner did everything he could to make all the liability to land on me. Enough said about that. Just let it be said that although money should not be the focus of your life, having money gotten thru smart hard work can provide a lifestyle that few know.

Just met the guy, we knew nothing about each other but he donated his time to help me put together a house from a pile of ruins …. I will forever be indebted to him! I was able to start over. But when you find yourself in a position to move forward in your life or project, you need to grab the bull by the horns, learn some new things, experiment and give it a shot.

Cheap woodturning tools are good for one thing that I can say from experience. You can learn how to properly sharpen a woodturning gouge or chisel and not fear that you are going to ruin your dollar wood-lathe gouge!

Woodturning is one of those hobbies that might look like it would be pretty easy and cheap to get into and get started. Or you could spend over bucks a gouge to discover the difference. This approach has one problem, if its one of your first gouges you will probably ruin it at some point, whether the sharpening or thru misuse.

Check out my post on where to buy woodturning tools and equipment. So, my advice would be to start with a cheap set of tools and then buy the more expensive tools on a one by one basis, learning the ins and outs of that tool. Are you handy, do you have basic wood turning and woodworking skills, do you have some knowledge of steel and how to work with it?

Recently a set of tools has entered the market that looks like a standard wood lathe chisel or gouge, but in reality it simply has a carbide insert cutter screwed into the end of a length of steel. You can go to www. I wish I had tried these before I invested in my expensive sharpening system.

These tools look just like a standard gouge except the end accepts a square, round, or diamond shape carbide wood cutter screwed to the metal shaft. They stay sharp much longer than standard tools, they come in a variety of widths, they can be resharpened….

Remember, no sharpening. They last 7 times longer and they are newbie friendly. So, if money is tight but you have a lathe and you want to start to understand the difference between cheap Chinese tools made with inferior steel and a bowl gouge that has a carbide insert cutter ……well, you can make one yourself. Have you checked out ebay for Carbide Wood Lathe Tools?

Carbide tools would be perfect for that situation. Many pen turners use carbide tools to shape pens. Guess what? Yes, it will take more time to develop the fine motor-muscle skills needed to make precision cuts, but the results will be worth the effort. Creating bowls as pieces of art can be done with a mix of tools.

Fine precision work is best performed with a traditional bowl gouge making micro-fine smooth shaving cuts. The bottom line is that carbide and HSS traditional turning tools both have their places in the woodturning world. I love Robert Sorby tools, now that I have the funds to buy them. As far as the carbide vs traditional debate goes…. I now use a PowerMatic short bed, and that thing will rip your arms off in the blink of an eye, so your tools must fit the job.

There is a reason a barber uses a leather strop to put the polish to his blade and you should do the same to your tools before you start. Sharpness is the key to fine work, and a fine craftsman.

You never know what surprises a log has in store for you; sharp tools and a soft touch will keep you out of trouble, and allow the wood to shine. Charles, thanks for writing and sharing. You make all good points. All the best to you! Happy Turning! I have a mix of both and use them both.

I tend to like the rougher gouge in HSS for getting started but if you turn hard wood which I most often do…. Pecan, Maple, Oak, and sometimes exotics I like the durability of carbide and less sharpening. Your points are well taken but the purpose of this is for fun and when it starts feeling like lots of work, I get less interested. I am retired now and I do wood turning as a relaxing activity and not a competitive sport.

I run into purists from time to time who would never touch carbide but I find that as silly as somebody who refuses to use carbide blades on a table saw or a router. My next purchase is probably going to be a bowl scraper and I am looking for a good carbide alternative but am not opposed to hss.

I have a Carter skew chisel that I love so I am not locked into either set of tools, just want to continue to enjoy the lathe work. Bernard, Thanks for writing and sharing. Again, I highly recommend that you do what works best for you. All the best to you and enjoy! Happy Turning, Kent. Kent W: Thank you very much! You are an excellent teacher. Which tools do you recommend for Wand Making? Thank you, Carli.

End to end turning, or spindle turning will have the best results by using a spindle gouge. You can also use carbide scrapers, but remember they will be scraping vs. Have fun! Maybe off on a tangent but I started routing with hss bits. I replaced them often. I tried carbide bits and never went back to hss bits. That all seems fine and good and would be if the shape and performance of the tools were equal.

However, they are not. The perpendicular scraping action of the carbide tools does not leave a final surface as smooth as a HSS bowl gouge does. Then it will be the best of both worlds. Thanks for all the sound advice Kent. Carbide, Hss and Hss with titanium coating.

Would be great if you could do a YouTube review in the near future. Thank you! I have both. I am learning. Somewhat better with the newer carbide tools. Check out my YouTube channel. I am developing online training courses that will take you step-by-step through the entire bowl turning process, including understanding, supported wood grain cuts, and bowl gouge use.

Each lesson will have comments and responses to add to the learning. Stay tuned. Then it will be followed by the Wood Bowl Turning Course. There are a couple of errors in the article. The first one is cost of Carbide compared to Conventional tools. Whilst you can no doubt pay more for carbide tools many of them are much cheaper than HSS. Indeed, lots of folks have made their own which reduces the cost to a fraction of HSS tools. The second is cut versus scrape.

Yes flat carbide does scrape in the same way as a traditional HSS scraper does. Whilst they may not produce the long strings of wood that say a bowl gouge does they still cut the wood. We could also differ on quality of finish. If used in shear mode you can get a good finish with carbide. A full set of three different sized, quality bowl gouges is still less than the carbide set. And you are right, a quality expensive tool, if used poorly, can make terrible cuts, and a cheap homemade tool, if used well can produce a great final surface.

Again, I repeat, use what works best for you. If you are using carbide scrapers and getting the results you desire, then stick with it. If, however, you are learning and want to improve your turning skills and have the most options available, then traditional tools are the ideal goal.

Username or Email Address. Remember Me. Carbide Inferiority Complex For some reason, probably ego, some traditional wood bowls turners seem to look down on turners using carbide scrapers. Origin Story Before I started turning wood bowls, I was fascinated with the idea of turning a wood bowl. I was hooked and now needed to turn more!

Fast Forward After turning my first bowl, I still felt I needed to learn much more before I committed to purchasing a lathe and other gear. Carbide Turning Tools Advantages Carbide tools are ready to use out of the box. Carbide Turning Tools Disadvantages The most significant disadvantage of carbide tools is the fact they are scrapers.
