Tungsten Carbide Turning Tools

Tungsten carbide turning tools offer more flexibility and last longer without sharpening than steel turning tools. Tungsten carbide turning tools have carbide inserts that are mounted to the turning tool. It comes in a variety of different styles for a number of uses.

Rougher
A rougher has a flat carbide-tipped blade that is anchored to the tool with an Allen wrench screw. The rough cutter gets its name from performing the rough shaping of the wood. The carbide tip takes little time to cut through the wood stock and give it its general shape. While typically used for wooden bowl turning, the rougher can be used for roughing out the wood stock of just about anything.

Finisher
A finisher has a round carbide tip that is generally smaller. The finisher is designed to take minimal shaving off of the wood stock to create the final shape of a bowl. The finisher can be used for creating grooves but this is typically a wooden bowl finishing tool only. One advantage to this tool is that the blade can be rotated from a dull portion to a sharp portion, allowing the blade to be used significantly longer.
