The Simple Shear Cutting Finisher® provides the very best surface finish possible with a carbide tipped woodturning tool. The reason for this is the saucer shaped carbide cutter. The round tool shaft allows the tool to be rotated about its axis so the cutter is presented to the work at an angle. This creates a shearing cut that cleanly slices the wood fibers off the vessel much like a conventional skew or gouge. The result is a superior surface finish that requires little sanding. Although this is a great benefit on all types of wood it is also great on man made materials such as epoxy resin and acrylic.
