They are specialized hand chisels used in woodturning to shape, cut, smooth and detail wood blanks spinning on a lathe
Unlike traditional high-speed steel chisels, these feature replaceable, rotatable carbide cutting bits.
When an edge becomes dull, you simply use the included star-key wrench to loosen the screw, rotate the tip to a fresh edge, and tighten it back down.
Each tool tip in the 3-piece set serves a distinct purpose:
* Square-Tip Tool (Left): Best for roughing down raw wood blocks, creating flat surfaces, cutting straight steps/shoulders, and forming tenons.
* Round-Tip Tool (Center): Ideal for doing general shaping, creating smooth concave profiles (like coves and interior hollows), and detail work on bowls or spindle curves.
* Diamond/V-Tip Tool (Right): Primarily used as a parting tool to cut pieces off the lathe, or for slicing thin, sharp detail lines, tight grooving, and intricate profiles.
Because they are the "mini" variant, this particular set is highly popular for small-scale lathe projects like turning pens, keychains, drawer pulls, ornaments, and custom bottle stoppers
