• TURNING WOOD WITH CARBIDE TOOLS: Techniques and Projects for Every Skill Level

  $21.95 $13.17 0 review(s)

  
  

  Everything a woodturner needs to know about using and implementing the exciting new technology of replaceable carbide cutting tips is included in this guide. Woodturning tools have taken a quantum leap since the recent introduction of these tips that have greatly simplified the task of turning in dry stock. Carbide-tipped woodturning tools are safer, faster, easier, and more efficient than traditional tools that require grinding the end of a piece of fluted steel to one of dozens of subjective profiles. The technology of the carbide cutters is fully explained, as are the various shafts and the function of the handle designs, providing insight into how and why these cutters act as they do, and why they are shaped as they are. Removing the intimidating aspects of turning, the guide explains the elimination of sharpening, addresses the issues of chatter and fatigue, and advises on maintenance, techniques, and usage. A number of projects are included—such as a candlestick, spinning tops, and a basic bowl—that can be completed right away by novice turners, rather than waiting for years to gain enough experience to do the same job with traditional tools.

  This is an updated version of Conover's original book by the same title. Conover discusses new machines and accessories and treats the lathe as an essential tool in the shop to be combined with other tools. This is a book on the lathe more than a "how to turn" book although Conover says that one of his objectives in the book is to teach the general woodworker to turn so that turning may be employed in furniture making. There is also a good deal of information for the pure turner. This new edition contains all new photography.
