Read more Premium Quality American Made Carbide Woodturning Tools The Full Size Simple Turner and Hollower is the simplest to use turning and hollowing tool on the market today! The Simple Turner & Hollower is the tool of choice to be used after a block has been roughed into a cylinder. Both beginners and experts alike appreciate the simplicity with which your project can be quickly turned and hollowed to the desired shape with this tool. To use the Simple Turner and Hollower 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. As you turn and hollow your vessel with this tool you'll quickly discover how simple it is to use. It won't be long until it's your favorite tool for doing 90 percent of the shaping work required on the inside and outside of most vessels. The Full Size Simple Rougher carbide woodturning tool makes roughing much simpler and less physical. When roughing with the Simple Rougher you'll notice right away most of the shock created by interrupted cuts during roughing is absorbed in the tool rest instead of your hands and arms. As you begin to move the tool across the turning block you'll see how fast these carbide tools cut and how much simpler roughing is. It won’t be long until your block is a cylinder and you'll get your first look at what your turning will become. In addition to roughing you'll notice the Simple Rougher is a great tool for shaping the outside radius of a bowl and for turning beads on spindle turnings. Straight line turning is also simplified on projects such as the wishing well seen in the photos of this tool. Also it's a great tool for hollowing out the inside of a bowl. If you're making a box or other vessel that requires square inside corners and a flat bottom this is the tool of choice for that as well. The Full Size Simple 55 Detailer is a wonderful carbide woodturning tool that provides a much higher level of woodturning creativity. The design of the Simple 55° Detailer lends itself perfectly to small intricate detail work such as turning beads, cover finials, boxes and other final details on spindle and bowl turnings. The special shape of the diamond cutter allows access to tight places where the cutter on other tools simply can't be used. Also it is also very useful for making outside chuck tenons and reverse angle inside cuts so bowls can be chucked with dovetail jaws. If you use a 4 jaw chuck to hold your turnings this tool is a must and will be used on every turning. As you use this tool you will soon see the wonderful small details that can added to your turnings. It will quickly become one of your favorite tools and used regularly.

  • Top Quality and Performance!
I normally don't write reviews but after only an hour using these I felt compelled! First - after opening the box I was stunned by the surgical appearance. These aren't crappy harbor freight tools, these look like they belong in the operating room. They are also well built and have a nice heft to them. At first I was thinking the changing of bits would be a pain, but it's fairly painless, and after using the tools, I can see using one tool to complete something, the progressing to the next for the next stage of the turn. My test piece was a quarter sawn piece of Padauk sandwiched between two 4/4 pieces of hard maple. I figured I would turn a 6" w by about 5" h candy dish to try it out. The Padauk and Maple were the hardest thing I had and were already laminated. I started with the roughing gouge and did it just like I saw on Simple's video. Straight plunge on the right till it got smooth and moved left. WOW! This thing cut like butter. I did manage to bog down the lathe by seeing how far I could push it, but again, WOW! After all of 15 seconds I had a nice smooth piece. Then I again did like the video and took about an 1/8th inch plunge on the face and rode it right to the middle. Again, cut like butter. No catches, no strange positions on the tool, just keep it on the rest flat (which is easy with the square shafts). Then I threw on the Simple Turner and Hollower. Again, flat on the rest and again, cut like butter. Made nice round edges and a nice design on the piece just by varying pressure. Did I mention this wood is hard as a rock? Then to cut a reverse tenon on the bottom I threw on the 55 degree attachment. Again, cut like butter. This one would take a bit more practice since I wasn't that great with it. Since it also rests flat on the rest, you do have to turn it a bit when you are getting inside the tenon for it to cut nice, but about 3 minutes practice and I was doing a good job with it. I also separately purchased the Sheer Cutting Tool. This was is the only with the round shaft, and is a good 2.5 feet long with an actual golf club handle on it. This one takes a bit of practice, but similar to a bowl gouge you can vary the aggressiveness with rotation. To hollow, I started with the sheer, and it was chewing away like mad. It's very hard to get a catch with these tools, but I did manage to get one by pushing the limits and knocked my piece off the tenon. I then switched back to the rougher to hollow the bowl. Bet you never thought you would hear someone say roughing gouge and hollow out the inside at the same time. Yup, that is how they showed it on the video, and I have to admit, it is a dream with this thing. You can plunge directly into the piece and move back and forth. Also ride right along the inside edge to the bottom and not catch. Amazing! Overall, best money I spent. The only other tool I used of my own was a scraper to smooth it out before sanding. Probably won't need that with another day or two of practice. ... show more

  • Really nice but..........
This is my first experience with carbide turning knives and I’m very pleased so far. These knives are extremely sharp and easy to handle. They look like precision medical instruments and cut like a hot knife through butter. They have even taken some of the agony out of hollowing out end grain. My only complaint is that they come with only one handle and don’t have a quick disconnect system for changing the blades. Purchasing 2 more handles is pretty pricey and stopping what I’m turning to go to the work table to unscrew one blade to put on another got old really fast! My plan is to make 2 additional handles myself. Why not just add a little to the overall price and give each blade a handle?! This hobby is expensive enough :/ ... show more

  • Great Product For A Great Price
Awesome! These are a lot bigger than I thought they would be. I am very happy with this. My wife took the protective cap off one of the inserts and cut her finger right off the bat. They come VERY sharp! Very sturdy and not cheaply made at all.... I will be buying more of this product for sure!!

  • To all you pro YouTube bowl gouge purists
You're like the old English turner who only uses a skew for all spindle work. Love my bowl gouges for hogging material, even after frequent trips to the grinder. But few of us have the years, patience, and wrist strength to make finishing cuts with a bowl gouge, especially in irregular, bark-included, checked, multi-grained, out-of-balance wood. Inside turning is difficult for us all Fresh out of the box I used this tool to re-turn a crotch log oak bowl with natural edge and bark inclusions previously turned green and dried in the micro-wave. With little care I only had to lightly sand beginning with 220. Enough has been said in other reviews about the surgical quality of this huge robust tool, and size matters as to chatter and stability of cutting. I was surprised to enjoy the chatter-absorbing padded handle, and my carpal tunnel will not awaken me tonight. I had planned to turn handles for the two other shafts, but canceled those plans. Changing is quick and easy, and infrequently necessary. I enjoyed my first use of square carbide and look forward to the diamond on occasions called for. ... show more

  • Buyer beware!
Value for your money? For a beginner this set was great. The one thing I don’t like is that these tools are made to match the companies own set cutters. My grief is that the cutters are hit and miss with sharpness. People talking about cutting their fingers on them? I run my hands over the edge of these cutters all the time to clean dust from resin and wood. Haven’t cut myself. These are nice weighted tools. I made handles for the other two. I just wish I knew that I’d be stuck having to buy cutters from the same company because “other cutters may not work”. I like my tools. Just not happy with the cutters. I’ve put these things into a lot of work. I will be buying another set of different tools just so I can save money on cutters. ... show more

  • Wouldn't even hesitate to buy again!! Excellent tools!
Beginner here... Was doing nothing but catching with my other tools. Will admit was because don't know what I'm doing. Finished my first bowl with these and not a single catch and was so easy!! The last bowl I turned with my old tools caught my gouge just as I was almost done and shattered the bowl into pieces. These are excellent quality! Will definitely order another handle or two, maybe your parting tool. ... show more

  • QUALITY FOR A FAIR PRICE
First of all my order arrived five days earlier then the estimate date. This company was on my order and shipped the same day I ordered it. The tools was much better than I expected for a mid priced tool. The shafts are big and beefy. The handle is long and has a rubber grip making it comfortable to hold for long periods. The carbide cutters are outstanding and cut through wood and epoxy like butter. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Would I buy them again? You bet I would and I will buy other products form Simple Woodturning Tools. When I find a company that has quality products and fair prices, I go back to them. Oh, and did I mention there made in the USA. ... show more
