Tool Description:
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 tenon. It can also be used as a parting tool.
The Simple Start 90 carbide tool is for detail work, can be used for roughing or for square inside corners.
The Simple Start Shear Cutting Finisher carbide tool provides the very best surface finish of any carbide tool. This is a great all-around tool and can be used on wood, acrylic, epoxy resin or a hybrid wood/resin piece. Often this becomes the favorite tool.
*Note: All of these tools can be used in the Simple Hollowing System. Just loosen the two stainless set screws in each handle and remove the tool from the handle. The SSSCF tool (Simple Shear Cutting Finisher) requires the SHS Bushing in order to be used in the Simple Hollowing System.
