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_row column_structure="3_5,2_5" _builder_version="4.27.0" _module_preset="5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="3_5" _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_heading title="Pico Finishing Shear Scraper" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" hover_enabled="0" sticky_enabled="0"][/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" hover_enabled="0" 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="{}" sticky_enabled="0"]<p>Designed as a finishing tool which can access complex shaped workpieces.

The Wize Tool parting tool is not just an accessory - it is a vital component in the woodturning toolkit. WIZE TOOLS is one of the only suppliers that includes a PartingTool as part of each double ended tool suite.</p>
<p>Our parting tool is rated among the best in the market and is fitted with our own carbide inserts sharpened to meet the wide range of materials that are encountered by turners. Key to the parting tool is that it is double ended, and more importantly, the insert is slightly wider than the supporting blade.</p>
<p>This feature eliminates any binding with the blade, minimising the width of the cut resulting in superior performance. In addition to its deep cutting the Parting Tool is ideal for cutting grooves, beads, and other shapes. The narrow, straight blade geometry is engineered for cutting through wood efficiently and accurately, allowing woodturners to achieve smooth, clean results with minimal effort and finishing work. This precision is crucial for creating tenons, grooves, and defining shapes in various projects.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="2_5" _builder_version="4.27.2" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://www.wizetools.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/parting-tool-Large.jpeg" title_text="parting tool Large" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
