  • Robert Sorby M2 HSS Bedan Beading Tool

    Robert Sorby M2 HSS Bedan Beading Tool

    Charles in OH

    Sorby quality if you need a Bedan

    Seems to hold an edge as you would expect for a HSS tool. Not a whole lot of options out there for a Bedan although it's essentially a piece of square stock ground to a point. I changed the grind to be closer to 35 degrees and saw improved results. It would be nice if they offered a powered A-11 version.

    Easy Wood Tools Ci2 R2 2" Radius Carbide Cutter

    Warren in CA

    Great tool for small work

    Using this cutter for pen turning. Turns easy. The finish from the roughing tool is so clean that it eliminated the need for the first two sanding steps. I can go straight to the finer grits and get a beautiful finish.

    Robert Sorby M2 HSS Oval Skew Chisel

    Arthur in CA

    Excellent!

    This skew is so much better than the carbon steel skews I'd been suffering with for years. The rounded sides give me a level of control that's difficult for me to maintain with my other skews.

    Crown Pro-PM Spindle Gouge

    Arthur in CA

    So much better!

    This spindle gouge is so much better than the carbon steel ones that came in my set of lathe tools! It's literally a night and day difference on turning beads and coves.

    David in PA

    Beginner

    This tool really takes the cake. It is so easy to use. I have only been turning wood for about 3 weeks and wood working for a little over a year now. EWT makes a great tool and Craft Supplies USA has a great site to get them from.

  • Robert Sorby TurnMaster Turning Tool

    Robert Sorby TurnMaster Turning Tool

    DANIEL in HI

    Hard to use

    Great idea to have replacable cutters for this tool, however the method of attaching them to the handle requires that the cutting surface is about 3 inches from the tool rest. Unwieldy to say the least. I returned mine.
