Woodturner's Tip

This tool cuts using a raised burr from grinding and must be sharpened briefly and often to maintain the burr cutting edge.  The rule of thumb is use the tool to refine a curved area and then give it a quick grind to create a new burr before using the tool once more.  Never push the metal of this tool into the wood, instead let the burr do the cutting!  The shavings should be very fine when sharp; if not, go and resharpen!

 

For years I have been shopping online for tools only to find a single grainy far away photo that does not show the tools for what they are.  I have decided to add more images of this product to make your choice easier.
