Does this tool include a handle?
No — and that’s part of the appeal. This tool includes the square carbide cutter, mounting screw, and hex key. The handle is not included, allowing you to turn a custom handle that fits your grip and turning style perfectly. We recommend starting with a handle blank approximately 2" square by 12" long so you can shape it to your own comfort and specifications. It’s a rewarding turning project that also becomes a practical, everyday shop tool.
What is this tool best suited for?
This square carbide rougher is ideal for rapid stock removal, turning square blanks round, straight cuts and clean shoulders, forming tenons, and general shaping on spindle and small bowl projects. The square profile offers stability and strong cutting performance, making it a reliable first-step tool before switching to round or detail cutters.
Safe use of woodturning tools
As with all woodturning tools, these Nanograin carbide cutters will provide years of service if treated with care and respect. We recommend cutting at or slightly above centre; cutting below centre can cause the tool to become overly aggressive. Avoid sharp impacts, as carbide inserts can fracture if struck. Always wear a dust mask, safety glasses, and a face shield when turning. Keep loose clothing, hair, and gloves well clear of the work area.
