Easy Wood Tools offers a series of replaceable carbide cutter woodturning tools that address fatigue, safety and efficiency like no other tools. They are designed to effortlessly remove massive amounts of material on any woodturning project without the need for sharpening. Rotate the cutter when one side gets dull and when you've used all the sides, just replace with a new cutter.
The tools are designed with support directly beneath the cutting edge transferring the cutting pressure downward allowing the lathe to take the pressure that normally would go to your hands and body when roughing. Because the pressure goes into the tool rest, your body doesn't get tired as quickly which equals more turning time.
Other benefits include -
The reduced likelihood of kick-back and catches - due to the neutral cutting angles, the tool is easy to use.
There are no bevels to learn - Easy Wood Tools are held flat on the tool rest and parallel to the floor. Cut left, right or straight in within minutes of picking it up.
So why pick Easy Wood Tools over the other carbide cutter turning tools found on the market? They only specialize in carbide turning tools and have put a huge investment into making them the best. While other companies are trying to imitate, Easy Wood continue to innovate and are at the forefront of this new evolution in turning tools.
Grade, Grind and Geometry
These are the 3G's of the perfect carbide cutter. Easy Wood have invested thousands of man hours finding the perfect combination of these variables and it shows in the quality of the cutters, the sharpness of the edge and the life you get from each one. Made solely by Easy Wood in Kentucky, the secret formulation of these attributes means you will never find a better performing carbide edge than genuine EWT Carbide.
Combined with the best quality materials to complete the manufacturing process of producing these tools - you can be sure to buy an Easy Wood Tool and for it to last a lifetime, with just the cutters needing replacement. - Навчання та стиль

Pleasant, precise and knowledgeable. Not hard on the nerves. We’ll edited. Open to carbides. Very kewl.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed :-)
You have convinced me to try the Easy Wood tools. Thanks
Beautiful!!!!
Wonderful presentation. Thank you for taking the time you finials are awesome.
Thank you kindly!
Lovely work.
Many thanks!
Excellent t demonstration thanks
I only use Easy Wood and I am able to create projects that I am happy with. Thank you for sharing
It's nice to see someone who is into doing fine detail, I have not seen one turner do such fine turning until now, great to know that there is someone out there.
Very good job Tracey.
Thanks Jeff. That is very kind of you to say. We will definitely pass on your comments to Tracey - that is if she hasn't seem them herself yet. Having been in her workshop and watched her working, I must agree with you. Her work is very fine, and beautifully executed. Tracey is extremely humble in her personal assessments of her own work, but she produces some beautiful pieces.
You need to check out some of Ashley Harwood's work then... She used to do a TON of finials that were very fine. There are also a lot of well known American box turners that also make finials.
Jeff S woodturner 21 can do fine detail finials in minutes using only a scew chisel. Search woodturner 21 here you'll see a real pro turner!
What a GREAT video. Please upload MANY more. You have a gentle touch, excellent instruction, and an ABSOLUTELY lovely voice!
Thanks for that, Tracey. What an interesting video. Fitst time I've seen this done.
Glad it was helpful!
Such a light touch with the tools. Very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Grazie Tracey....

I just purchased my new mini lathe. Never used a lathe or tools before, after watching your video I feel more comfortable. I also purchased a set of easy wood mid size tools. I also look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks
Thanks for your kind comment, Larry. We are glad you have benefited from this video with Tracey. She has actually created a few more on this channel with us, so - if you are looking to advance with your Easy Wood tools - check them out. And, there are more to come. So stay tuned.😃
You are a very good teacher.
You make it look so easy, enjoyed watching the video. Great job
Haven't tried finials yet but this gives me so motivation to try making one or many, Thank You
Wow! You have a lot of patience. Very nice.
I have many pieces of hard maple and cherry that would be ideal for finials. I'm primarily a bowl turner but your wonderful video has piqued my interest in these. I'll check out the Easy Wood tools. Your lighting and audio in this video is excellent.
Thanks Paul
Lidded bowls with finials are beautiful try one out you will not believe the complements
Thank you Tracey. That was very informative! I’ve gained Several good tips it!
Glad it was helpful!
Halo teman selamar sore di indonesia.saya sangat senang dengan macam macam.pahat yang kamu gunakan.sukses slalu ya
Thanks for a wonderful insight into this delicate item! I am about to make twin finials for a small bookcase (top R and L) out of MAHONIA. The recipient loves the color YELLOW. Mahonia is yellow and does not change color with time, but stays canary yellow!
Wonderful!
Fantastic! Glad I found this one.
Thanks for watching
I've just started making finials and love your video. You've given me the encouragement to do better although I can't afford a set of the Easy Wood tools just yet.
just got finial table top decor items and now i want to make some ! :) great video!
Thanks King! Let us know how you go!
Thank you for sharing your video.
Greg
Great video. Exactly what I needed to know. And I love the tool rest block.
Nice delicate work Tracey . regards Mike
Thanks Michael. We will certainly pass that on to Tracey. Much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing

Bravo!! Excellent Video / Music / Tutorial ..
Thanks Garry! We hope you continue to enjoy our video tutorials. Make sure to subscribe...that is, if you haven't already of course. There are plenty more where this came from, and much more on the way!
Great job!!! Thanks, it's going to be useful for me
You're very welcome Charles. That's great news. Enjoy your woodturning!
Really enjoyed that, excellent! Thank you.
Thank you Kevin. Very much appreciated. We will pass that on to Tracey. There are more videos to come from her, and more already on our channel. So stay tuned! 😀
Interesting video. Thx.
Splendid work! I have a couple of easy wood tool, just love those! One has to evolve!!!
Hi Philippe. Thanks for your kind comment. And we agree. If a new technology is developed that benefits the user, it earns its place in the user's workshop. As Tracey herself admits in this video - effective woodturning can effectively combine the traditional and the new. Evolution is about adaptation, and Tracey has even seen that for herself in her use of the Easy Wood carbide cutters.
what a nice video and fine detail
An excellent video - very informative and interesting. You do beautiful work. Thanks.
Thanks Tracey! Really good details in here and well explained!
Amazing, I wish I had the patience & the skill to turn finials as fine as yours. But I do like carbide tools. I even make my own. If we didn't embrace technology we'd still be using pole lathes, after all they are "traditional" and been around for centuries.
An excellent perspective, Miss Tee. Embracing technology and innovation is what has moved the arts and human abilities further. Thanks for your kind comments and for enjoying our channel.
Awesome work and enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing :) and think I may want to look into those tools for future use.
Adoro fazer pequenas peças .
Awesome video I use the carbide tools some they have there place just like the traditional tools safe turnings
Thank you James. As Tracey herself admits in this video, each person has his or her own methods. Like yourself, Tracey combines her use of the Easy Wood tools with her traditional woodturning chisels. And, as you can see, the combination is not only a wise methodology but also an effective and efficient one.
Thanks for sharing. You would laugh at my finials.
Tracey isn't that kind of person, Billy. She'd just get in an help ya!
My next purchase, the EWT MICRO set!
can you tell me what type of stain that you used to get that black color?
You get such lovely cuts with your tools. I have a Rockler set and their sharpening system (bought my own lapping oil) and I know you have had more practice than my 7 months, but I certainly don't get nearly that lovely a peel
Thanks for the comment
Awesome video. I’d love to use the Easy Wood Tools to turn with but they’re just not in my budget at this point. Perhaps sometime in the future I’ll be able to rectify that situation.
There are enough videos on UA-cam that you can watch as how to make your own on a limited budget.
Newbie been using carbine in wood shop..like then@
Nice video. It should have been mentioned that the reason it’s thicker near the headstock is because you are almost always pushing towards the headstock with finials. Meaning working towards the mass of wood that is your support.
Those are delicate and beautiful little works of art! What does one do with a finial?
Tracey-very nice video on the how to turn/create a finial. Do you have any guidance on design elements for finials? Length vs element diameters?
Tracey,
Which makes a cleaner cut ... A carbide round negative rake or a carbide round cupped cutter?
Thanks!
Joe
If you file a flat spot at the top of your handles it stops them rolling away
Good Tip!!
надолго ли хватает этих резцов?
Tracy I don't agree where you said "you do n't want anything with open grain that splits. I have turned finials out of red oak and also other open grain like walnut and it all depends on how you cut them. Unfortunately, youtube does not offer for the replier to post anything in the comment with pictures. I can share it with you to see it for yourself. Tracy making those finials on their own without having a vessel, box or an ornament to attach to is lots of fun you can actually make bunch of them in few hours, however the issue is that when you make a box for example how you go about measuring the size of what will look good with that particular box? any insight on that? I have more than 30+ pieces of boxes tha are waiting for fnials to be turned and attached.
Hi Phillip. Thanks for your input. Very much appreciated. Tracey may not have seen your questions so bear with us and we will get a response from her. Thanks for watching!
Great video! What lathe you using?
What is the black stuff you put on them is it just paint, thanks .Nice work
Hi Michael, we believe it is just black paint
Thanks for that
Super turning!
What video editor do you use?
Thanks for your kind comment. To answer your question, sometimes its as simple as iMovie, with a mixture of other programs such as DaVinci Resolve.
if you turn the easy tool on it's corner you will no longer be scraping. the tool will cut very cleanly.
I liked the video but felt you were just promoting the tools, there is no need for them as it could have been done with a couple of traditional tools just as easy but nice work anyway
Hi Rodger. Thanks for your comment. As a woodworking retailer, we naturally highlight tools. That said, we have begun stocking these tools because of their different approach to turning. Traditional woodturning tools have long been able to achieve similar results. But with all creative endeavours, technological innovations enable artists in different ways. We simply wanted to highlight the differences between the approach taken with traditional woodturning tools and the Carbide cutters used in Tracey's videos. After that, customers have options that they may not have been educated to consider previously.
Thanks always for watching and for taking the time to comment. Always appreciated.
Kind regards to you,
The Timbecon Team
I do not agree with carbide, but great video
Jack The Turner whyever not?
Ben M it leaves a rough surface and costs a lot of money
Jack The Turner Ok I get it that carbide is more expensive, but most good tools are expensive. You get what you pay for.
I’ve never turned with carbide, so I can’t give a practical opinion.
Will take on board the input.
Hi Jack. Thanks for your comment. We are pleased you enjoyed our video. If you are not a fan of carbide, I hope you have enjoyed Andrew Potocnik's woodturning videos on our channel. Stay tuned. There are plenty more to come from him also. That said, we think Tracey would disagree with you on the rough surface. She enjoyed the fact that there was very little sanding to do once her finial was completed. Nonetheless, as we all know, as with all creative pursuits, each individual has his or her own methods and each is honoured.
Ben M if you start turning and become more comfortable with turning and want to start turning more and selling your things you do not want to wast your time sanding away all of the imperfections made by the carbide tools. Because of this you should use traditional tools from the beginning and with carbide you scrape and more pressure in required therefore creating vibration for delicate things like finials or thin wall bowls
I just use the side of the diamond insert for shaping the backside of bulbs
