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.

  • dont give up, buy these
i inherited an old, obsolete sears-roebuck lathe, and an 11 piece sears chisel set. i had never owned a lathe. it became obvious that i was not going to be able to accomplish much with the lathe, so i sold it cheap. i bought a brand new JET 1221 lathe (its nice). so now i think im finally ready to do some turning. the inherited chisels all appear to be un-used or barely used, so im confident....frustration...thing arent working right. watch more youtube videos. try again. more frustration. rinse repeat. i had seen and heard of carbide tip chisels. i read a review that might sound similar to mine. that review, convinced me to buy these fine chisels. just like in the review, i experienced "night and day" with my results! i wasnt frustrated! wood was shaving off as i wanted! the tools felt good in my hand! i made my first bowl yesterday, and its pretty bad-ass! im sure i will own, and be satisfied with these chisels for the rest of my life. if anyone wants to buy an 11 piece, barely used set of craftsman chisels, HMU! BUY THESE CHISELS! oh yeah, lets not forget, MADE IN USA! ... show more

  • Large and heavy
I got these tools as an upgrade from a very small set of carbide tools. If you are a beginner, then be warned that these tools are extremely large, heavy-duty and solid, so they require some experience in holding them. Other than that, these are the absolute best carbide tools I have ever seen. They may be even better than easy wood tools, because they have the same, if not better, quality, and at the cost of one full size easy wood tool, a bargain. The cutters are very sharp, especially the square rougher. In fact, as I took off the cover, my finger slipped and was cut on the corner. The toolbar can be extended a good distance from the tool rest. Using the tools is an absolute dream. Buy these tools! ... show more

  • I am so happy with these tools, what else can I say? Minimal Tear Out
I work with tools all the time, sometimes all day.. I enjoy wood turning but I also realize the importance of quality tools, Simple Woodturning tools met that mark and I'm definitely happy with my purchase. I've only got a few hours on these carbide blades but have been used on a very tough/dry project as well as some semi-damp elm (pictured), still cutting as they originally did and haven't turned to use a new carbide surface.. I did buy a couple extras (1 rougher and 1 round) just in case of damage/chip.. I have some HSS gouges and scrapers but honestly enjoy turning as a relaxing hobby and if I can get the surface quality of gouges without sharpening, I'm sold. I initially purchased (and kept) a cheap mini set, just to try and see how good or bad the quality was.. whether the horror stories of tear out were true, user error or a combination. What I found was like the images you see above, I used a lamp to show the worst areas, holding the light at an angle, this was the worst of any wood I have used with these tools, on Elm (Chinese, I think) and the graining is not very tight and I think these tools hold up and cut really well.. I think they cut fast and work great. Harder woods like oak have cut very smooth with these, I'm really careful to keep the tool centered to workpiece and level to floor and really use light pressure and let tool do the work on finishing passes. The weight of these tools was way heavier than I expected, a combination of the large tool size and grip left the operation really comfortable, they felt and have been no less than a quality product. ... show more

  • Exceeded Expectations
Been turning for years and have been hesitant to go CARBIDE. I own the best gouges made. Dang, these things cut so well and are virtually foolproof. Already thinking of getting a second smaller set for small vessels. Highly recommend

  • Helps a Novice Improve
As a novice wood turner trying to learn the skill, having to stop and try to resharpen a tool constantly impacts my ability to focus on my turning skills. These solved that problem. The carbide tips have allowed me to focus on turning skill. I can turn a project faster. I still have a long way to go in skills but these make the learning fun, rather than a chore. ... show more

  • Exceeded expectations
I am so happy I chose to purchase these. The bar is very thick which allows me to stretch out a good distance from the tool rest. I was impressed with the cutting ability and the comfort of the handles. Made in the USA and so happy they are now on my lathe tool rest. Thank you for the great product.

  • Fantastic
I had been looking at these tools for a while now and finally went ahead. These are some of the best tools I’ve ever used. These tools allowed me t complete a project that was stuck on my lathe for three months. The long handle is fantastic for stability and the cutters are of great quality. I will definitely recommend these tools to anyone. ... show more

  • I loves me some USA 🇺🇸 MADE TOOLS!
Wow! Great set of woodturning tools! Very sharp! Very good cutting! Comfortable handles! Great for beginners because a cheap, crappy tool is more likely to frustrate you than encourage you to do more! Sure this set cost $5 more than my lathe but the lathe is something that most people who push past a "beginner" phase would upgrade anyway! But good quality tools will move with you to the next lathe! Don't waste money on a cheap set of wood turning tools cuz you'd have a hard time reselling them anyway. But if you buy these and decide that woodturning is not for you then you should have no problem reselling these. ... show more
