Carbide Cutters
Made in America
We're the only turning company that makes its own carbide cutters: we
use a proprietary formula that is the sharpest, hardest, and longest lasting in the industry!
Easy Wood Tools® transformed the turning world with replaceable carbide cutters designed specifically for turning. They keep you turning instead of sharpening and they have a lower total cost of ownership. We offer two types: Standard and Negative Rake (patented*).
Grade, Grind and Geometry: these are the 3G's of the perfect carbide cutter. As the industry experts with over 60 years of experience in the carbide field, our team has invested thousands of man hours developing the best combination of these variables and discovered the sharpest and longest lasting edge featuring:
​
-
Optimum grade of carbide for the longest lasting sharp cutting edge.
-
Proprietary grinding process that results in the sharpest edge possible.
-
Precision ground finish. We don't polish our carbide cutters as the polishing process is prone to chipping the cutting edge.
​
Our tools are designed to be used with our own carbide: we have extremely
tight tolerances, and they work best when they work together. Our tool bars
are engraved with corresponding carbide cutter part numbers, so it’s easy to
know which cutter goes with which tool! Each cutter comes with a new mounting screw.

EASY ROUGHER™ (square cutter):
Removes bulk material fast and efficiently.
Easy Wood Tools® is the only turning company that makes its own carbide. Our proprietary formula is the sharpest, hardest and longest-lasting in the industry.
​
Our standard carbide provides a neutral rake, which is the angle of a cutter relative to its cutting surface. These cutters start sharp and stay sharper longer to reduce catches and blowouts.
​
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.
​
EASY FINISHER™ (round cutter):
For inside and outside curves and final shaping.
EASY DETAILER™ (diamond cutters):
Creates small coves, beads, and other fine details.
MICRO-SIZED EASY DETAILER™ (Micro and Mid-size tools only, diamond cutter, natural handle):
Creates micro coves, beads, and other ultra-fine details.
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.
​
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.​
