I have been turning a couple of Manzanita burls for a charity event and instead of spending around 8 hours turning per bowl (with conventional tools), your tools cut the time down to about 1.5 hours. All on the same cutting tip WITHOUT rotating to a new side. Thank YOU for the great tools! — Tim Yoder (Host, Woodturning Workshop, PBS)
Very user friendly with more features than any other – Performance is what I expect from Easy Wood Tools. — Robin Costelle (Turner and Demonstrator)
I am a visually impaired Veteran and I have a set of Easy Tools. The set of Easy Tools has made the use of my wood lathe a piece of cake. With my very limited vision, Easy Wood Tools improved my cutting in quality and speed. The need for precise angle of the tool in relationship to the stock is taken care of. I only have to keep the tool flat on the tool support and feel how the tool is cutting into the wood. — Jerry W Abney, US Army MSG (Ret), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Veteran
I don’t use a lot of tools to begin with, maybe a total of 4, 5/8 Bowl gouge, 2 skews, and a detail gouge. Now I only use the bowl gouge for shear cutting and detail gouge for small stuff. The rest of time, I reach for Ci's. They are truly versatile and remarkable tools. My grinder is also collecting cobwebs, which is fine with me!" — Jeff Matter, MatterOfWoodwork.com
Easy Chuck is the best thing since sliced bread. If I was in a position to give awards for tool innovations, this year’s champion would go to Easy Wood Tools for this chuck. I am dependent on tool quality for safety and my livelihood. Both have improved for me. — Stuart Kent
No sharpening…are you kidding me!?!?...I can now safely turn any project. I can change jaws with one hand in about 25 seconds…WOW! — Bob Kennedy
Absolutely Phenomenal… Excellent tools when turning acrylics and other man-made materials…one of the best purchases ever... Job well done!!! — Andrew Fuller
One of the features I like and what I feel most turners don’t consider, or even understand is how the back side of the chuck is recessed, which puts the workpiece closer to the spindle. This has to help reduce vibrations or chatter caused by adapters. Changing jaws is as you say; a Snap! — Dick Sing
Thank you for inventing the turning tools of the future… I’ll take them all, rare and refreshing. Thank you! — L. Jeffers
I absolutely love your tools! I can actually GET SHAVINGS LIKE "FEATHERS! I'm 66 and your tools allow me to tackle all types of work with ease and confidence. Cutter heads are fantastic – Thanks for giving us "old guys" tools that make woodturning fun! — C. Betts
This is the greatest tool I have in my workshop. So easy and a pleasure to use. It does a great job from roughing to finish work on any size bowl. Now, both my son (a novice) and I (intermediate turner) are having a great time together in the workshop. — N. Roy
Just wanted to let you know that I have made what I think is one of the best buys of my life. It was a great pleasure to hold in my hands and watch a work of art appear before my eyes.— M. Lindsay
Just got finished turning an 8x8 treated timber 36\" in length on a Rikon midi lathe with extension added for the extra length. I was considering purchasing a much larger lathe but using the Easywoodtools CI1 on something this large and massive it was a breeze. I started with knocking the corners down and I immediately knew the rest would be a snap. I am so glad I purchased this tool for my woodturning. I have also turned two small 6\" segmented bowls made of mahogony, white oak, and maple using the tool. I am hooked now and will park my other lathe tools and pass them on to my grandkids. Just a great new tool that everyone should consider using. — M. Stein
I did a lot of research and EWT by far was the clear choice and your Service Dept. also had great reviews (I concur). All this and made in USA!! Great Job EWT!! — J. Jensen
I really appreciate the time and R&D taken for making these awesome tools. I was about to write off turning as something that was beyond my ability until I got your EasyRougher and EasyFinisher into my hands. Awesome tools! I can say with complete certainty that there is NO OTHER TOOL in my shop that I have had this sort of reaction to. — S. Jones
I am a full-time turner and use the easy rougher every day. It is a rare but wonderful thing when the product lives up to the advertising. Thanks. — B. Wright
The Ci1 is the tool I use first with all new projects. From bowls, to peppermills, and even pens, I have found the Ci1 to be useful in many applications. The Ci1 has helped me trim 35% off the time of my production turning jobs. Hand fatigue and other symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are non-existent, thanks to the Ci1. Great tool for a Great price and yields Great results. You can't go wrong!" — Leo Frilot
I want to add my strong endorsement of the Ci1 tool; I have used it with burl, natural edge, soapstone, alabaster, and calcite. Nothing has roughed out these pieces as fast as the Ci1, with less strain this is the tool for the job. - Larry Charlot, www.yakimaturnings.com
I heard about the Easy Rougher, watched the video on Craft Supplies website and wanted one. I am somewhat of a 'tool junky' and have been disappointed with some of my purchases. I have watched the demos but many times the tools did not work for me. The Easy Rougher performed as advertised! The first time I used it I was impressed with how well it worked. No banging and jerking when roughing out a bowl. Great product! — Paul Rasmussen
I didn't know it could be done! Sunday I stalled my 3502B lathe, more than once. Larry of Yakima Turnings was down and we worked on an oak burl plus a birch bowl. Got your tool last week and have been using it with a light touch and pleased with what it would do. I like the Ci1 Easy Rougher, money well spent" — JP Roach
I was elated with the performance of the Easy Rougher. It cut my time by 2/3 and it is the only tool I used. It works so well I just don't lay it down. Thanks so much for everything. — Tom Hasting
