<li><strong>W Insert</strong>: A versatile all-rounder for roughing, shaping, shear scraping, and hollowing. It excels in shear cutting operations.</li>
<li><strong>Square Inserts</strong>: Ideal for machining flat surfaces, shaping, hollowing, fluting, and forming tenons and mortices for 4 jaw chucks.</li>
<li><strong>Round insert</strong>: Perfect for shaping and smoothing hollowed surfaces, producing coves, fillets, ogees and hollowing.</li>
<li><strong>V Insert</strong>: Features both a sharp pointed and a slightly rounded end. Excellent for detailed work like forming Vee grooves, reeds and necklines.</li>
</ul>
<p>The seating arrangement allows for changing the orientation of the insert, providing multiple uses for a single insert. The 'W' can have rounded or pointed faces, the 'Square' can have flat or pointed faces, and the 'V' can be oriented to have a slightly rounded or sharp pointed face.</p>
<p>WIZE TOOLS also offers negative rake inserts for turning resins and hard woods.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.wizetools.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/All-Inserts-Large.jpeg" title_text="All Inserts Large" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src="https://www.wizetools.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/PH9A7944-Large.jpeg" title_text="PH9A7944 Large" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_heading title="Why Choose Carbide Insert Woodturning Tools?" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text quote_border_color="#385b00" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac" text_font="IBM Plex Sans|IBM Plex Sans_weight|||||||" text_text_color="rgba(0,0,0,0.64)" text_font_size="16px" text_line_height="1.75em" link_font="|IBM Plex Sans_weight|||||||" link_text_color="#c1a400" quote_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" quote_text_color="#111111" header_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" header_text_color="#111111" header_font_size="72px" header_line_height="1.15em" header_2_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" header_2_text_color="#111111" header_2_font_size="50px" header_2_line_height="1.2em" header_3_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" header_3_text_color="#111111" header_3_font_size="32px" header_3_line_height="1.3em" header_4_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" header_4_text_color="#111111" header_4_font_size="24px" header_4_line_height="1.4em" header_5_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" header_5_text_color="#111111" header_5_font_size="18px" header_5_line_height="1.4em" header_6_font="IBM Plex Sans Condensed|IBM Plex Sans Condensed_weight|||||||" header_6_text_color="#111111" header_6_line_height="1.5em" custom_margin="||||false|false" text_font_size_tablet="15px" text_font_size_phone="14px" text_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_font_size_tablet="40px" header_font_size_phone="24px" header_font_size_last_edited="on|desktop" header_2_font_size_tablet="28px" header_2_font_size_phone="20px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_3_font_size_tablet="22px" header_3_font_size_phone="17px" header_3_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" header_4_font_size_tablet="18px" header_4_font_size_phone="15px" header_4_font_size_last_edited="on|tablet" header_5_font_size_tablet="15px" header_5_font_size_phone="14px" header_5_font_size_last_edited="on|desktop" header_6_font_size_tablet="13px" header_6_font_size_phone="13px" header_6_font_size_last_edited="on|desktop" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]<p>Carbide insert woodturning tools are a modern innovation in a market historically dominated by high-speed steel (HSS) tools, whose designs have remained largely unchanged for nearly a century. Traditionally, woodturners faced the challenges of expensive sharpening systems and a steep learning curve. The introduction of carbide inserts has revolutionised the industry, akin to the shift from film to digital photography, despite resistance from some traditionalists. </p>
<p>Carbide tools not only reduce the number of tools needed—doubling the requirement for HSS tools—but also streamline equipment, lower costs, and minimize workspace clutter. They facilitate a more organised environment while enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.</p>
<p>Key benefits of carbide insert tools include:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><em>Durability:</em></strong> Carbide inserts resist wear, stayig sharper longer than traditional steel tools, resulting in fewer tool changes.</li>
<li><strong><em>Precision Cutting</em></strong><strong>:</strong> Achieve clean, precise cuts with minimal risk of tearing, leading to smoother finishes and less sanding.</li>
<li><strong><em>Ease of Use</em></strong><strong>:</strong> Natural movements eliminate difficult <span>manoeuvring, reducing learning time and preventing catching or snagging.</span></li>
<li><strong><em>Cost-Effective:</em></strong> No costly sharpening systems required.</li>
<li><strong><em>Versatility:</em></strong> Available in various shapes for roughing, finishing, and detailing, allowing for tailored applications.</li>
<li><strong><em>Consistent Performance:</em></strong> Maintains cutting reliability throughout its lifespan, enhancing project quality.</li>
<li><strong><em>Low Cutting Resistance:</em></strong> Lower fricition means smoother operation and reduced fatigue during extended use.</li>
<li><strong><em>Heat Resistance:</em></strong> Carbide withstands higher temperatures, preserving hardness and cutting ability during intensive tasks.</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall, carbide insert woodturning tools provide greater efficiency, ease of maintenance, and improved results, making them a valuable addition to a woodturner's toolkit.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
