I just received my Harrison Specialties tools last week, and am already making it look like I almost know what I'm doing. Members of my club look down their noses at carbides and swear you will never make a project with carbides that can rival a good gouge. My mission is to prove them wrong. Thank you for a very informative video.

I have watched this series several times over the last two years. I have Harrison's square, round and pointed cutters. The square and round I use frequently. Not long ago I bought a 6mm Osprey. Still learning how to use that. I have used this series to refresh my memory on different techniques. Great series.

An excellent introduction to Carbide. I might try them now

Great job from one Washingtonian to another

Very well presented and demonstrated Steve, going straight over to part 2 :) take care Mike

Thanks for the info. The tool does not attach to your magnet because it is a high grade stainless steel, not aluminum.

I finally tried some carbide tools and I really dont enjoy them, especially for roughing out. Having the corners coming down feels like its beating on the tool vs just peeling with a skew.

Steve, Cool video.......enjoyed watching! Will watch parts 2 and 3 tomorrow.

Nothing like a good old 1inch skew and a big broad gouge

Can the carbide rougher do the job of a large traditional roughing gouge? Say you are turning a large 10" diameter log with bark on it

Great video...You mentioned that the one round carbide cutter would give you "the catch of your life" if you plunge straight in. I can tell you that this 100% correct because that is what happened to me. What round carbide cutter should I buy for hollowing? I don't want to use the other one anymore.

This great, I just got my lathe so I am just being.

Never put your fingers on top of the coolest while turning 14:26

I am not sure if it is camera angles, or not but your distance on the tool rest seems to be a bit more than I can get away with using old fashioned high speed steel. Do you find that the carbide tool work with a constant larger gap? (High speed indicated how fast this gets dull, NOT that you will effortlessly go "fast" thru the wood)

thank you sir

Thanks. Question: What are the suggested speeds of the Lathe for different projects? Thanks again

When the wood is spinning on the lathe there is a strong "beating" motion of the shadow and light on the wood. (say around 13 minutes). Is that to do with flickering flourescent lighting, or what is creating that artifact in the video?

Can I use diamond shaped carbide inserts using a bit holder in a CNC wood lathe machine? Are the Carbide bits same for wood and iron lathe?Cheers

Easy Wood Tools bar is stainless steel... not aluminum, which is why a magnet won't hold it. Aluminum would not hold up, it would be terrible.

Oh Lord thank you
