Woodturning: How to make your own carbide tools
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 кві 2021
- In today's video, I will show you all the steps from start to finish to make your own carbide tools. I currently have the Easy Wood Tools Mid Size tools, but I've found that in certain projects, the tool chatters due to the smaller bar size (3/8"). I wanted to see if I could make my own using parts available online. I was able to pickup all the parts from Amazon.
I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you'd like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!

Great video, just bought a pair of hollowers without handles on Amazon, turned a pair of handles, used the same copper for mine. I will be making some straight with round and square carbide cutters, thanks for sharing.....
Thank you! - Ed
Thank you. I have always enjoyed your videos. Keep going.

Awesome job Ed takecare stay safe god bless
Thank you Donald! - Ed
nice work you made it look easy also
Thank you Chico! It's all about the edit. ha ha - Ed
You did a great job making these tools. I was happy to see you not cheap out on the carbide. Many hours of R&D went into the EZwood carbide to het the very best alloy for turning. Good looking tools you have there.
Thank you Doug! I know a lot of folks get them from eBay and that's fine. I really like EWT and their quality. I just can't afford to buy the whole tool. - Ed
@@WolfRidgeWoodworking I fully understand. They are high.
Great job on tools
Thank you Scott! - Ed
Looks good.
Thank you Brad! - Ed
simplesmente maravilhiso,parabens
Thank you Antonio! - Ed
Looks great Ed. Only thing I would do different is countersink drilled hole before tapping. Keeps from a burr happening in your tapped hole also adds as a lead-in.
Thank you for the tip. I will remember that going forward! - Ed
Good video, I have the fixin's, now I just have to make it.
Thank you Rex! Go for it! - Ed
Enjoyed the video
Thank you! - Ed
Hi Ed.... great video and really useful looking tools...I recently made a carbide chisel too... its great to make tools for your own use... take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy! - Ed
Missed you the last couple weeks. God bless
Thank you Mary! I would love to put out more, but my schedule won't allow. Have a blessed one! - Ed
G'Day Ed. Great Video. One day I'll do it. I Have the steel bar, the wood, the taps, drill bits, etc. Just need the carbide cutters. Sigh!
Thank you Robert! The most frustrating part was tapping for the screws. I went through two taps. I would suggest either getting a really good tap or multiple cheap ones. - Ed
Hi Ed, I have been thinking about making some of these as most of the carbides I have are not up to doing hollowing. Great video Ed. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw! If you do make your own, order extra taps. What the video didn't show was the 2 others that I broke. - Ed
@@WolfRidgeWoodworking Thanks for the tip Ed. I will get a couple more then. Huw
How do you make sure the bolt won't come loose flying the carbide tip in the air? Any lock washer or loctite needed?
The screw has fine threads. It is the same screw that Easy Wood Tools uses. I've never had any issues with it coming loose. - Ed
That was weird, I typed a comment and went to hit send and it was gone.
They turned out really nice looking. Definitely nicer than the set I made, but they do work. Enjoyed as always, Dave.
Thank you Dave. You know that happens to me a lot when I'm responding to comments. Must be a UA-cam thing. - Ed
Nice job Ed. Funny, yours is the second channel I subscribe to that’s done a video on DIY tool handles this week. Maybe I should take it as a sign.😂 Sure is a lot cheaper this way. I’m wondering though do the Easy Wood replacement cutters come with the retaining screw?And if so what is the thread size ?
Thank you Duane! They do come with extra screws. The screw is a 8-32. - Ed
Long time no see Ed. Nice job!!! Some how I'd had thought the square stock would have gone further in the handle. Is that as far as factory one go in?
Good to see you again.
Good to see you too brother! I think that's as far as they go in. EWT sells just the tool and it appears to be the same size as what I used. I used these in this week's video and they worked well. Need to put them through the paces to see how they hold up in the long run. - Ed
Great info here. Thanks. Instead of buying some chisels this makes it easy for me to make some instead. How have you liked the tools? Anything you'd do differently?
Thank you Andrew! They have been great. The bigger size has made it easier to turn some bigger pieces. I don't think there is anything I would change. - Ed
Nice vid. What do you use to sharpen your roughing gouges??
Thank you Michael! I have a Oneway Wolverine Grinding Jig I purchased online. It is great for me as I'd never be able to get a razor sharp finish freehand. - Ed
Hi Wolf. I might have missed it, but how did you manage to turn the handle with a square hole in it?
I paid attention this time. You put the revolving centre in the square hole. Best regards.
Am new to wood turning. And am making a set myself. How long should the tang be in the handle? Thank you
Thank you for watching! I would have at least a 3" tang. - Ed
What is the negative rate cutters? What’s the difference between the regular cutters?
A negative rake cutter has a grind on the top and bottom of the cutter. This prevents the cutter from cutting too aggressively and is best for resin. A regular cutter tends to cause the resin to chip out where as a negative rake provide a smooth finish. - Ed
what is the size of the iron if you may know my friend
I used 1/2" (13mm) square steel. - Ed
Looks like I will be making my on tools now instead of buying them. Thanks!
Thank you Tim! - Ed
Hello brother Ed, What is the largest and smallest diameter of the handles? Great video, thanks!
Thank you! I apologize for taking so long. The smallest diameter is 1.1" and the largest is 1.6". No reason why they are what they are. Just modeled it off my other Easy Wood Tools, but a little bigger. I hope that helps out. - Ed
@@WolfRidgeWoodworking Thanks! :-)
What kind of angle grinder is that thanks
It's a 4" Dewalt angle grinder. - Ed
Rộn ràng sắc Xuân đến bên thềm …
For me, making my own carbide tools was not successful. I got the handles turned, the steel ground to accept the carbide cutters. But when it came to tapping the drilled holes, the taps kept breaking. I gave up after breaking 2-3 taps and after HD & Lowe’s didn’t have any more. Guess I will never make a good machinist.
You don't seem to know the difference between brass and copper. 👎
Thank you for watching! - Ed
Did i miss what wood that is and where to get it?
