Negative Rake
Try resin or acrylic with confidence. Our patented* Negative Rake Carbide Cutters™ are a game changer! They create smooth, safe, continuous cuts and make turning man made materials and super hard woods safer and easier.
Made in America
With the explosion of man made materials in the turning world, some found them difficult to work with using traditional steel tools. They catch easily, which can be dangerous and scary, especially to newbies.
In our constant effort to improve your turning experience, we were the first to create a true Negative Rake Carbide Cutter™. Rake is the angle of a tool relative to its cutting surface, and most turning tools have a zero (or neutral) rake. These tips have a negative rake, so the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge. The geometry makes a cut less aggressive, therefore safer; the negative rake angle virtually eliminates chatter and chipping. It's physics: a negative rake simply can't catch.
When one side of the cutter gets dull, simply turn it to a new side and continue turning. When all sides are used, you just replace the cutter. You'll devote more time to turning instead of wasting hours sharpening your tools, and you'll save money in the long run, too.

Our tools are designed to be used with our own carbide: we have extremely
tight tolerances, and they work best when they work together. We make it
easy to know which carbide fits which tool, too, with our tools and cutters
specially marked. Each cutter comes with a new mounting screw.
