If needed, tools can be easily changed by loosening the two stainless steel set screws
  • Mid Size Tool Details: These premium quality American-Made carbide woodturning tools are CNC machined from 3/8 square stainless steel, making them stronger, stiffer and less likely to roll than round shaft tools. These mid size tools feature an overall length of 9", with a handle tang of 3/8" diameter x 2" length. The flat top carbide tips on this tool set is desgined for turning wood, not acrylic or resin.
  • Tool Use: The mid size Simple Turner & Hollower is ideal for turning small bowls, handles, bottle stoppers, etc. The mid size Simple 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 mid size Simple 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!

  • Great tools, super quality, American Made!
Color: Red
Full disclosure: As a former owner of a Woodworking store I have years of experience with Easy Wood Tools and believe strongly in the value of this type of tool for a wide set of turners. I bought these tools because I wanted tools for my new home shop that I could use to teach new turners, but wanted to reduce the cost to me since I use Carter and Son M42 HSS tools exclusively myself. I also wanted to buy American. So I ordered a set of the three shapes of tools that I am familiar with (square,, round and diamond) - in the Medium size, along with the handle for them. Here's my initial reaction: The tools themselves are pretty much the same length as the EWT ones. The build quality and finish seems excellent. They came nicely packaged in bubble wrap with slip on plastic "booties" over the cutting ends. The handle fits the tools well and is nicely finished also. For me the handle is way too small in diameter and too short - the EWT mid sized tools have a 16" handle, where this one is only 12". Unfortunately the folks at Harrison make a 16" handle but don't offer a sleeve or bushing to allow it to accept the ⅜" shaft mid-sized tools. I plan on turning a larger handle and using the Jimmy Clewes Quick Release cam lock mechanism or my Robust ER25 collet based handle. A reason I think this is so important is that (based on years of beginners classes with EWT) I find that beginners need the extra leverage of a longer handle to control the tool, especially when getting into bowl turning where they extend further off the tool rest. As far as the cut quality - I used Maple since its a well behaved wood for demo'ing. It felt like the finish of the wood was slightly less smooth on the square tool than the EWT. But that could be because I am used to using a 2" radius "square" not the straight sided one that came on the tool - and the radius allows one to do a better finishing cut. I have ordered the 2" radius cutter and will update this review after I get a chance to try it. The round cutter worked well and so did the diamond one. Both seemed competitive with EWT. The diamond one does have a extremely sharp point that can be very useful, The bottom line on this is that there are things you can do with the sharp point you can't do with a EWT detailer (which has a radius at the tip of its diamond), and vice versa. One thing perplexing to me is that although the square and round tools are both Mid sized, they use different sized cutters and therefore different screws (and therefore two different wrenches). The round tool is a larger diameter than a mid size EWT, the square seems about the same size as EWT. It is nice that the screws use Torx wrenches rather than simple hex of EWT. Overall, I am encouraged by the quality of these tools. I look forward to a bit more usage and also a chance to sharpen the cutters with a diamond stone. I will update this review later, but at this time I would strongly recommend these. UPDATE #1: After more usage a difference I note is in regards to the diamond shape tool: an EWT tool can cut quite easily along the straight side of the diamond, these tools do not cut well that way. I notice that the EWT tool has a different edge angle, and perhaps more importantly has the supporting steel of the shaft cut back more to allow the edge to be applied more easily. ... show more

  • Carbide bits are such confidence builders.
Color: 3 Tools W/Bright Copper Handle
After using cheap HSS tools that I bought many years ago, I finally broke down and bought this set as my first carbide set. One handle and switching out bits seemed like it would be a nuisance, but it only takes a few seconds (there are two Allen set screws involved) and I started with the roughing bit. What a confidence builder this was! I mounted a piece of oak between centers are started hogging away with wild abandon! This set puts my cheap HSS tools to complete shame. I am going to get a couple of sets of carbide tips to ensure I’m always using sharp tools, and I’m also thinking my sharpening grinder may be gathering dust for a while... ... show more

  • The tools work well AFTER you replace the screws... all of the screws.
Color: Red
The screws that they use in these tools are absolute JUNK. The socket heads strip out in short order. These are the screws that hold the carbide inserts in place and the set screws that hold the tools in the handle. The good news is that the manufacturer gives the screw sizes in their descriptions on their website so, it is easy to order GOOD QUALITY replacements much less expensively than getting the same junk from the tool manufacturer. ... show more

  • Easy to work with and produce a great surface on wood
Color: 3 Tools W/Bright Copper Handle
Product is solid - easy to change out. Have to watch wood dust filling the set screw heads that tighten the turn bars into the handle. Well balanced and easy to hold and use. Tips are good - just wish the diamond tip was pointed not rounded over to help with level of details I wanted to impart on the wood. Just picked up some diamond credit card plates to sharpen/hone the bits. Will be trying out other 3rd party carbide tips for the square scraper as the Diamond bit is not the same size as many of the replacements - it's shorter! 22 mm vs the 28 mm for the standard replacement bits ... show more

  • Very High Quality tools
Color: Red
The packing these tools are shipped in is so nice I'm using it, for the time being, as a place to keep the tools by my lathe. These tools are made very solid. The nickel plating and the machined aluminum handle look great! And for the most important part, tools cut so nice with no catches at all.. The Mid-Size tools are the perfect length (app.19") and weight for me. ... show more

  • Spend the extra money for the full set with 3 handles - set screw stripped in 1 week
Color: Red
I typically don't write reviews but hopefully someone can learn from my mistake. After investing good money into standard turning tools, which I was not happy with, I decided to give carbide cutters a shot. These are great quality tools that have improved my work tremendously. As I was trying to be cost conscious I mistakenly went with this set with only 1 handle that I would change as need be. After 1 week, the set screw was stripped and I can no longer remove the rougher. Fast forward to now, I am forced to purchase 2 additional handles for $50 each because I wanted to save a few bucks upfront by not buying the full set with 3 handles. I gave this product 4 stars and not 5, although the product is great. I am very disappointed the set screw would strip so easily strictly from use, and not over tightening. In summary - spend the extra money up front to get a full set with 3 handles or you'll be back buying them later at a full price. ... show more

  • Nice and sharp
Color: Red
These work great for turning. Very sharp. I bought a set of Sorby's after this an I actually like these better (I'm a novice turner so that might change over time and the Sorby set has more options so not a real apples to apples comparison). Either way, you can't go wrong with these. Changing them out is a bit inconvenient but no big deal. ... show more

  • Make sure they come sharp.
Color: 3 Tools W/Super Mirror Black Handle
Immediately check the blades when you get this item. blades came dull as if they had been used, im working with the seller now to get replacements. Other than that it is a very well made tool and hopefully get to use it soon. I'll definitely change my rating when i get sharp replacment blades.
