Color:Sapphire Blue Handle These tools are ideally suited for small and mid size projects where the full size tools as just to clumsy. Some examples include pens, Christmas ornaments, bottle stoppers, handles and bowls, just to name a few. To use the Mid Size Simple Turner & Hollower just follow these 3 simple steps. 1. Position the tool rest as close to the work as possible so the carbide cutter is at the lathe center line. 2. Place the tool on the tool rest with the tool shaft parallel with the floor. 3. While securely holding the tool slowly move the carbide cutter into the work. Because of the small tool shaft the tool should not extend past the tool rest more then 3 inches. Simple Turner & Hollower technical details: Carbide cutter - 1/2” diameter - Flat top cutter Overall tool length – 9" Tool Shaft – Solid steel 3/8" square Beautifully nickel plated Handle tang -3/8"" diameter x 2" length Interchangeable Handle features include: Overall length: 12" Outside diameter: 1-1/8" Opening for tool: 3/8" Tools are easily changed by loosening the two stainless Allen set screws.

Great, quality tool
This quickly became my go to tool! I am a purist at heart and love the process of sharpening and honing my “traditional” lathe tools. I really enjoy learning how to get the cleanest cuts from those chisels. However, time and time again I reach for my Simple carbide tool.There are so many situations where I now realize how useful this tool is. Aside from that, it feels great to hold. It has a lot of “heft” to it and doesn’t chatter much, assuming you’re working on an appropriate sized piece.This is certainly a quality American made item! I’m actually going to buy the next size up handle and add to my collection of Simple wood tools, as soon as I save a few more bucks.

I had thought that it had a composite handle but I think it is not which does not make a bad review. I wish it could take 2 size
After using this for a while I think I will be ordering more of their tools. I had thought that it had a composite handle but I think it is not which does not make a bad review. I wish it could take 2 sizes of cutters.

bought as gift for my father in law who is novice turner, he'd been frustrated trying to hollow, this made it much easier which in turn makes his lathe time more enjoyable

Great tool with good weight to it
Great tool with good weight to it. I can get a better cutting edge on my HSS tools but never having to sharpen this is a bonus.
