It took some practice to get the hang of using this tool. It is easiest used if the attack angle is 45 degrees or greater. Any less that 45 degrees, the cutter catches causes a gouge. It makes great chips and cuts very fast.

This can be a difficult tool to master and as someone mentioned, it's very sharp and you have to watch your attach angle. If you are hollowing out a bowl it can be hard to see the cutter because of the shavings. With a standard bowl gouge the flute goes up the shaft and makes it easier to know where the tip is. I found that marking the shaft with a felt tip marker gives me an idea of the orientation of the cutter which greatly helps. This is particularly true if you are using the two swan neck versions of this tool where you are back hollowing a bowl. Sometimes I'm in so deep the I have to rely on the mark I put on the handle. I do also own the Easy Wood Tool square shaft carbide cutter and it works very well particularly if you hit some very hard knots in a burl. Have fun it's only wood and you can always recycle it in the fire place, if need be.

This is an excellent carbide tool. Those reviewer which complain about the round shaft have no clue how to use the tool. This tool is used much like a bowl gouge. First ride the bevel with the carbide at about 45 degrees from flat and rotate the handle until you start cutting. NEVER use the tool with the carbide horizontal which is the way it was being used by those that wanted a square bar on the tool For video on its use, look for a name brand carbide tool which has the round bar and view the instructional videos. This in not like the "easy" carbide tools.

My first carbide tip turning tool. Excellent price with the replacement tip. Works great for hollowing...took some experimentation to get the right angle of attack and height adjustment but I'm very happy with this addition to my turning tools.

I've been wanting to purchase a carbide cutter but never got around to it. Last week I spent the money and WOW are these cool. They cut fast,clean and with little effort. It took a few minutes to get the hang of it...it can be very aggressive, so a light touch is in order. I especially HATE sharpening so being able to simply loosen the screw, rotate the cutter, and start turning is a big plus for me. Now I'm saving up for the square cutter!

I love this new addition to my turning tools, I found it great for soft woods. It is very sharp, took a couple practice pieces to get use to, but think it well worth the price. I do believe a flat end would make it more practicle after roughing out the wood. the control was no different for me than my other tools, angle is a little sensitive, but overall GREAT !!

What a great tool for the price. Especially with a extra cutter! A little tricky to get used to but once you get it down it cuts very quickly and smooth.

"Have been a return customer for a number of years, and a recent experience has really cemented that bond for me. After using my Rockler lighted magnifying lens for a few months, one of the wires from the battery pack came loose. When I contacted Customer Service to inquire about sending the unit back, they instead sent me a brand new one - no questions asked, no return expected, no charge whatsoever. This simple step - coupled with top quality, innovative products - ensured my repeat business more than any other advertising technique or gimmick could ever do. Keep up the good work, Rockler!"
