Negative rake six-sided carbide chisel

Negative rake six-sided carbide chisel. Includes an extra 6-sided cutter. Overall length 16in., Blade 5in.

The negative rake profile features a cutting-edge that slopes downward and safely slices through even the most challenging material. Helps to eliminate blow-outs, catches, chatter and chipping. When one side of the carbide cutter gets dull, just tun it to a new side and continue turning. When all six sides are used, just replace the cutter. which means 240 times the longevity of a typical M2 HSS tool!

Usage and safety information:

• Do not use dull cutters – not only will the tool not work properly, but it can also be a safety hazard.
• Set tool rest height so the top of the cutter aligns with the centre of the spindle.
• Hold the tool flat on the tool rest and parallel to the floor. 
• Don’t force the tool to cut. Light, slow cuts work best. These tools are very sharp and can dig into the blank if too much pressure is applied.
• Make sure the blank you are working on is secured properly and tightly.
• Wear safe and protective clothing as well as safety glasses and/or a face shield and use a dust mask when necessary.
• Read and understand your lathe’s owner’s manual.
