Carbide tools for wood lathe

Carbide Lathe Tools - by Rick M. @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community



Maple handles, 1/2” steel round bar, copper ferrule, carbide cutters.
Maple handles sanded to 320 and finished with shellac.
Copper sanded to 2000, buffed, then sprayed with shellac.
Cost was around $11 each.
Next time I will use aluminum square bar instead of steel round bar.

These cut better than my EWT's.
