These cutters are the finest German Carbide I can find and are extremely sharp. I've used my round for up to 100 pens without rotating or changing. They will cut wood, corian and light metals you may inlay.
I also provide one screw with each cutter, in case you lose one in the shavings.
I also provide bars for the cutters. The 3/8" round bar is for the round cutter and the 1/2" bar can be used for the square and modified for the others. The bars are square or round stock, unfinished, ready to be handled. I provide one screw in each bar. (shavings thing once again)

I will sell you everything, except the wife. All you have to do is send me an e-mail of what you want and I will send you a paypal invoice. However, i need your shipping address in the e-mail to properly calculate shipping or I can take a guess and double it, your choice.
Send me an e-mail to eddiecastelin@cox.net
Make your own self-powered sander or Decorating Genie with a bronze bushing ad two small (5/16") ball bearings and one 3/8" rare earth magnetic sphere. All you need to add is the wood and a little time.
I have been asked to stock these cutters since I started selling carbide. I found them, and i can offer them at a great price. I have to sell in pairs to cover the postage. I send you two cutters and two 10-24 screws for your shop-made tool, or one of my bars.
Discounts of $1.50 each cutter if bought in lots of 12 or more, just like the others, Mix, Match & SAVE! (See Cutter combo with bar below)
I can offer bulk sales to Woodturning Groups for orders of 12 or more cutters, any kind, any style, any shape.
I will reduce the price of cutter ourchase by 10% and pick up the cost for shipping to the US. Other locations will get a $3 reduction in shipping from the base USPS rate to that location for a small flat rate box.
You can mix up the order anyway you want. E-mail me the order, I'll sebd you a PayPal invoice for you to pay my PayPal account and I'll ship the order at my cost.
I can ship cutters anywhere USPS sends Priority Flat Rate mail.

Two pockets on the back to collect extra shavings. Indicate your size, Medium, Large, X-large or Huge. Allow 3-4 weeks for delivery. They are made custom for you.

I've heard that wodturners from around the world want a better deal on Cutters and bars. I worked with Brendan Woodruff of Austrailia to develop a package that you may be interested in.
This is a package of three (cutter bars - 1/2" square, 3/8" square and 3/8" round, with Two square cutters - and Three round cutters.
The bars are just under 10" long and they fit in a small one-price box from the USPS. To most locations this is about $14.00 freight.
I will sell you the package for $75.00 plus what it cost to ship to you. I will package when I get the $75.00 payment, check the postage and ship when I get the balance. You can check USPS.com and figure it out on your own.
If you live in the USA, I will ship you full sized bars without any additional freight charges.
It's a little labor intensive, but it's what I can do to help International friends.

I took this off the site a few weeks ago. But you wouldn't leave me alone. some guys think they have better control over the square stock and they can determine the levelness of the cutter a little better. I went back to the shop and found a better way to machine it. I like it even more. 11" Bar and three cutters, with 4 screws is $33.00 plus $7.00 shipping.
I'll ship you two (2) square cutters with a 1/2" bar and three (3) machine screws for a total cost of $20.00, plus $5.00 shipping per package. (you save $4.00, I save $2.00 postage and handling)
The bar is machined only for the square cutter. You will have to enlarge the platform for the other cutters. Square bar is not used for round cutter.

I created my version of a rose engine lathe, normally called an ornamental lathe. This can be built by most good welders or fitters. I have built several versions over a long 3 day weekend.
I will sell you a set of drawings, showing every measurement, detail and accessory needed to create some of the most exciting turnings you'll ever see. Included with the drawings is a shopping list of all the items needed and the resource for those parts and pieces. Also, sample templates, many of which can be purchased from other ornamental lathe manufacturers in the US.
This is not a project for the squeemish, this unit weighs about 120# when complete, but is capable of work that disappeared from our world over 150 years ago. You will be able to "run with the big dogs" of ornamental turning when you finish this project.
Your payment of $20.00 will be donated to Freedom Pens through The Bayou Woodturners.

About a dozen years ago I was doing segmented work and started working with a layout template because I couldn't get the sizes right and was wasting wood. I had a version of MiniCad for work as a designer and decided to create my own layout template.
I started with eight points and then increased to 16. I did another in the 3 range and did a 3, 6, 12, 24 layout.(shown) Then I did a 5, 10, 20 layout and so on. (flip side, not shown)
I have incorporated all of these templates into one master, one side is the 6 layout (6/12/24) and the other covers 4 (4/8/16)& 5 (5/10/20) layout. It is laminated in heavy duty plastic so it's ready for the shop. You can mark on it with dry erase markers or grease pencil.
I can sell it to you, shipped to the USA for only $14.00. I have to add $2 for increased cost in lamination and shipping. The $2 envelopes is one of the reasons. i ship it media mail.
