Summary:
"Everything a woodturner needs to know about using and implementing the exciting new technology of replaceable
carbide
cutting tips is included in this guide. Woodturning
tools
have taken a quantum leap since the recent introduction of these tips that have greatly simplified the task of
turning
in dry stock. Carbide-tipped woodturning
tools
are safer, faster, easier, and more efficient than traditional
tools
that require grinding the end of a piece of fluted steel to one of dozens of subjective profiles. The technology of the
carbide
cutters is fully explained, as are the various shafts and the function of the handle designs, providing insight into how and why these cutters act as they do, and why they are shaped as they are. Removing the intimidating aspects of
turning
, the guide explains the elimination of sharpening, addresses the issues of chatter and fatigue, and advises on maintenance,
techniques
, and usage. A number of
projects
are included--such as a candlestick, spinning tops, and a basic bowl--that can be completed right away by novice turners, rather than waiting for years to gain enough experience to do the same job with traditional
tools
