Features

  • Benefits of Carbide Lathe Tools: Simple to use for all skill levels making woodturning fast and more enjoyable. You can focus on your project and not on techniques or sharpening. No long learning curve or expensive sharpening equipment. You can begin turning as soon as your box arrives because each tool comes with a very sharp, rotatable carbide cutter. Just rotate the cutter head 14 turn for a clean, sharp edge and you are back to turning wood.
  • Handle Details: The most beautiful lathe tool handle on the market, 100% USA made by American craftsman. CNC machined from solid aircraft aluminum for balance, durability, and to last for years. Overall length is 8"; outside diameter is 1 3/16"; tool opening is 1/2" diameter. If needed, tools can be easily changed by loosening the two stainless steel set screws.
  • Simple Start Tool Details: CNC machined from 3/8 square stainless steel, making them stronger, stiffer and less likely to roll than round shaft tools. These professional tools feature an overall length of 6.5".
  • Tool Use: The Simple Start Turner & Hollower is ideal for turning small pens, tops, bottle stoppers, etc. The Simple Start 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 Simple Start 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! SSTH = Simple Start Turner and Hollower. SSR = Simple Start Rougher. SS55D = Simple Start 55 Detailer

  • Excellent quality, excellent value tools
These are fantastic quality -- unbelievable deal for $99. Being stainless and aluminum, I expect they will last a lifetime! They are the perfect size for my son, who is learning to turn. The tools arrived today, so we chucked up a really hard sycamore block. The carbide cutters knocked the edges off and turned it down like butter. He wants to turn some acrylic pens, and we really needed better tools than HSS. ... show more

  • for price, just can't be beat
i don't think you'll find a mini carbide set of this quality for this price from anyone else, at least not that i've seen. if you ever wanted to check out this type of woodturning tool, this is just a great deal for a quality tool. i had a set from another manufacturer, and this was definitely an upgrade -- HIGHLY recommended!!! ... show more

  • Buy these now before the company finds out they are underpriced!
Amazing quality at this price. I doubt the company can continue manufacturing them at this quality for long without raising their prices. They are simply beyond high quality. The machined aluminum handles are beautiful and fit you hands perfectly. These appear more like custom tools rather than something that was mass produced. These are the short tool set best for smaller turnings. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Great Tools!
I really like these tools. As a new woodturner, I liked the fact that I didn't need to buy a sharpening system and they were easy to use my 1st time on the lathe.

  • Well made tools for the money!
With the solid aluminum handles, stainless steel tool holders and replaceable carbide cutters - add made in the USA - how can you do any better? The 12" overall length is perfect for my lathe and project sizes. As others have said, stop looking and BUY THESE TOOLS. They didn't come with a case, so I made my own to protect them. Great purchase. ... show more
