Made in America

Easy Start is a perfect place for newbies as well as those looking for tools needed for small projects. With black oxide toolbars, a steel ferrule, and maple handles, these are economically ideal for beginners. School shops love them too. Great for pens, wine stoppers, blade handles, and small bowls or shapes. All tools come with a fresh standard carbide cutter already installed and a hex key that fits the mounting screw.

Three types take your creation from start to finish so you'll know which to reach for:

                              EASY ROUGHER™ (square cutter):

                              Removes bulk material fast and efficiently.

​Our high quality lathe turning tools make turning safer, faster, and more fun! Whether you're a newbie or a pro, we have the best tools for your next project.

​

  • Easy to use: Unlike traditional steel, our carbide-tipped tools are always held flat on the rest and parallel to the floor. No bevels, no vertical angles to worry about.

  • Short learning curve: Cut left, right, or straight on, and you're successfully and safely turning within minutes of picking up the tool. 

  • Our own carbide: We manufacture our carbide cutters using a proprietary recipe to make them the hardest, sharpest, and longest lasting in the business.

  • Lower cost of ownership: All you need is a lathe and an Easy Wood Tools turning tool and you can start making. You don't need to buy a grinding kit or sharpening system or multiple tools to achieve your desired result.

  • No sharpening: Never sharpen your tools again! When one side of the cutter gets dull, just rotate it to a new surface. When you've used all the sides, simply replace it with a new cutter. 

  • Safer: Our square tool bar design and resultant turning geometry means fewer catches and kick-backs.

  • Reduces Fatigue: Our unique handle design puts turning pressure into the tool rest so you don't tire as quickly.

  • Handmade in America: Our team of highly skilled men and women use time-tested techniques and American-sourced woods, metal, and carbide to make our high quality tools.

  • We focus only on turning: EWT sells ONLY turning tools and accessories, so we know how to make turning safer, easier, better, and more fun.​
