Unlike many offerings in the market, the WIZE TOOLS carbide inserts are specifically manufactured to consider the material being cut. Our inserts are manufactured to our specifications and are 80% thicker than the industry standard, enhancing durability.</p>
<p>The criteria adopted in the design and manufacture of our inserts are the specific cutting angle to avoid damaging the insert, the lathe, or the workpiece. All our inserts have been designed to minimise ‘catching’. We have focused on both the size and shape of the insert as well as the mounting of the insert at the end of the shaft to take into account the accessibility required at the point of entry.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="2_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="2_3" _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2" global_colors_info="{}"][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>WIZE TOOLS offers four carbide insert shapes as well as negative rake inserts:</p>
<p><strong>W Insert</strong>: A completely unique insert which is a versatile allrounder for roughing and shaping and for shear scraping. This is our workhorse providing the user with a wide range of opportunities including hollowing. A key feature of this unique W insert, is its use in shear cutting operations.</p>
<p><strong>Square Inserts</strong>: Ideal for machining flat surfaces, shaping, hollowing, fluting and forming tenons and mortices to accommodate 4 jaw chucks.</p>
<p><strong>Round insert</strong>: Perfect for shaping and smoothing hollowed surfaces, producing coves, fillets, ogees and hollowing.</p>
<p><strong>V Insert</strong>: This insert has both a sharp pointed and a slightly rounded end. Excellent for detailed work to form Vee grooves, reeds and necklines.</p>
<p><strong>Negative Rake</strong>: WIZE TOOLS also offers negative rake inserts for turning resins and hard woods.</p>
<p>The seating arrangement by which the inserts are held on the end of the tool shaft allows for the change in orientation of the insert itself. This provides the opportunity for the user to have several alternative uses for a single insert. The ‘W’ can have two faces, either rounded or pointed. The ‘Square’ can have a flat or pointed face. The ‘V’ can be orientated to have a slightly rounded or sharp pointed face.</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 recent innovation in a market traditionally dominated by high-speed steel (HSS) tools. Unlike conventional tools, which have remained largely unchanged for nearly a century and require costly sharpening systems, carbide inserts have revolutionized the industry. This shift is comparable to the transition from film to digital photography, initially met with resistance from traditionalists. However, many are now adopting carbide tools, sometimes completely replacing their HSS tools. New users will find that carbide inserts offer significant advantages, including a reduction in the number of tools needed, lower costs, and less workspace clutter.</p>
<p>By opting for our carbide insert tools, you can streamline your inventory, minimise expenditure, and create a more organised work environment. The efficiency and effectiveness of these tools present a compelling case for their adoption.</p>
<p>Finally, turning with carbide insert tools follows a natural hand and body movement and most importantly eliminates catching. It is well known that the fear of having a ‘catch’ (where the tool gets jammed in the workpiece), is one of the biggest reasons why many people abandon woodturning.</p>
<p>Carbide insert woodturning tools offer several advantages, making them a popular choice among woodturners. Here are some key benefits:</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]
