Pen Chisels
These little darlin's are pen turners chisels or micro chisels. Made, by popular demand, for those folks who like turning small projects on small or medium sized lathes, they are only 10" long and have 1/2" shanks. The carbide inserts are the same grade as the larger chisels and are 1/2" round or 1/2" square. The bottoms of the shanks are flattened for the 2 inches directly under the insert. Very nice, smooth cutting and long lasting tools for doing precise turning on small projects.

Bowl Reversing Pad
The Bowl Chucker Pad makes reverse chucking natural edge and free-form bowls quick and easy. Re-chucking a bowl allows you to turn away chuck marks, screw holes or reshape the bottom any way you want. It also makes sanding and finishing the bottom of the piece easy too. Vinyl facing on the pad protects the finished surface inside the bowl while you turn and finish the base. To use, mount the pad in a key chuck secured in the headstock of the lathe, position the bowl over the pad so that it rests on the bottom of the bowl then secure the tailstock center against the base of the bowl. You're now ready to turn and finish the base of the bowl. Pad diameter is 6".
