Mike, you do a wonderful job on your videos. I especially like how you take the time to really explain what you are doing and why. Also how some products differ from others. You impart a lot of information that we turners often wish we had someone to ask a question of. Thank you.

Best carbide tool instructions I have come across, THANK YOU. @caseyf801 commented on close up. I too would benefit from another video showing the technique you used. I noticed, at least I thought, that you were going up from center while shear scrapping the inside of the bowl with the finisher. The answer to this and other technical point is what would make us better turner. Again many THANKS

you have no idea how much this video means to me. You have re lit the fire in me to pursue turning! I am going to follow this step by step and turn my first bowl with my lathe. Thank you so much for this video. I bought my lathe and equipment to celebrate life in after beating cancer. I am 54 years old and turned one bowl back in high school. I decided to get lathe and tools to treat myself to celebrate life but have had so many mishaps and have not turned the lathe on in over three years now. Your video shows me I can do this and inspired me to try again. Thank you sir. I still have not found a club or school near me to learn. I live near Aberdeen South Dakota and would appreciate any guidance in finding club or lessons in person from you and community.

I'm glad to hear you're ready to get back to the lathe! There are a number of great clubs in SD, checkout dakota woodturning club on Facebook, and there is the Vermillion SD woodturning club a few hours south of you. Reach out to the club presidents and see if they have any members closer to you and I'm sure they'd help you out. Hopefully that helps. Have fun turning! -Mike 😊

Excellent presentation and many newcomers to using carbide will have found this to be one of the better carbide tool presentations. Can I suggest that you take a look at some of the presentations using traditional gouges by a well known professional turner in Australia who has travelled and demonstrated a great deal in the USA. I really think you and your viewers will learn some great turning tips. Richard Raffan in Canberra Australia. I use mainly carbide but also traditional gouges to get the best of both worlds. I come late in life -mid eighties, so need the best info and presentations free from fancy intro’s, crap music, and verbal drivel. Richard’s close up video is second to none, no wasted time.

Mike Great Video Have you used the easy wood carbide negative rake to finish inside of bowl?When sanding with The drill do you use forward speed?
@CraftSuppliesUSA Жыл бұрын
Hey Anthony, The only time I switch to the negative rake cutters are when I'm turning dense exotics. On Maple and domestic hardwoods it tends to tear out more than the regular cutters. When sanding, make sure the disc is rotating in the opposite direction of the work piece. Otherwise the piece will make the drill spin faster than its made to and can damage the drill. -Mike

@leecobhomelee70369 ай бұрын
Why did you not just change to the EWT negative rake cutters for the final finishing. It would be less mucking around and probably safer than turning the standard cutters to a 45 degree angle.
@CraftSuppliesUSA9 ай бұрын
The carbide doesn't have a burr like a traditional negative rake scraper so unless I'm cutting dense exotics I typically don't use the negative rake cutters. Also, I've found that rotating the tool on a 45 degree gives me more a a slice than scrape and will leave a better surface than the negative rake cutters.

Another sensational video Mike!!! Soooo full of great hints, tips and techniques for using those tools! I do a lot of VERY hardwood turning. More coincidence than planning!! LOL! Do you have a video or two (or three) with tips/techniques about turning really hardwood. I live in Australia and Aussie Red Gum, Tasmanian Blackwood and Spotted Gum are (very) hardwoods that are available and look beautiful.
@CraftSuppliesUSA Жыл бұрын
Hey Alan, Thank you for watching! I don't have any videos specifically of turning hardwoods but a negative rake scraper and the negative rake cutters will be very helpful for dense woods in your area. You have access to some really great woods! Tasmanian Blackwood is one of my favorites. 😊 -Mike

Where you’re doing the 45 degree scrape, wouldn’t it be easier to use one of the negative rake carbide tips? Would that do the same thing?
@CraftSuppliesUSA Жыл бұрын
Hey J, Because these cutters don't have a burr, the negative rake cutters would tear out more. The 45 degree scrape acts more as a slicing cut and leaves a cleaner surface. If I was turning a really dense exotic timber the negative rake would most likely work better. -Mike

Hey Calvin, Because there is no burr on carbide it won't leave a cleaner surface behind, unless the material is extremely dense like Cocobolo or Blackwood. For me, I'll only go to the negative rake cutters on acrylics, trustone, and ultra dense exotics. -Mike

Hello Robert, I use the Waterlox Originial finish. The Scratch free is compatible with almost every finish we've tested. The Yorkshire requires you to strip the surface with solvent before you final finish, I suspect it is because of the beeswax in the Yorkshire. -Mike
