Ci1 Easy Rougher - The Next Step in Woodturning

Ci1 DetailThe Ci1 Easy Rougher is a carbide cutter woodturning tool that addresses fatigue, safety, and efficiency like no other type of tool on the market. It is designed to effortlessly hog away massive amounts of material for any woodturning process without the need for sharpening. The tool design provides support directly beneath the cutting edge transferring the cutting pressure downward allowing the lathe to "take the pounding" that you would normally suffer through when using a conventional bowl gouge for roughing. No more ‘white knuckling’ a bowl gouge.

  • Cuts left, right and straight in without changing approach angle
  • Truly deeper cuts – up to 1" off the diameter in one pass.
  • Requires very little physical strength or exertion
  • Your feet and hips stay in nearly the same position for the blank roughing process.
  • Very minimal handle bouncing on irregular shaped blanks
  • Reduced kick-back or sucking into work piece
  • Chip Deflector keeps most projectiles away from the face and neck
  • No intimidating cutting angles to learn and remember
  • No bevels to ride
  • No fear of a dangerous catch

Ci1 DetailThe Ci1 tool bar is CNC machined from solid stainless steel bar stock and is 11" overall length. It is turned down to a ½" diameter x 2½" long to receive a handle. The same Ci1 accepts either the crowned cutter or square cutter. The crowned cutter excels at spindle roughing Ci1 detail and finishing and working inside bowls. Choose the square cutter for cutting square shoulders such as tenons on bowls and spindle work. For maximum efficiency, have a tool for each cutter.

Lexan® Chip Deflector

 Lexan® Chip DeflectorThe Ci1 Easy Rougher is capable of plunge cuts similar to using a giant parting tool. This type of cut sends massive amounts of material straight back at the operator. You will not regret having this deflector in place for those cuts.
  • Not a substitute for proper eye protection.
  • Deflector was designed to be looked over rather than through.
  • The Ci1 tool produces large volumes of shavings like no other tool you have ever experienced.
