If possible, select only high quality, high speed steel turning tools with long handles. As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety of specialty tools for specific applications can be acquired. The following tools provide the basics for most woodturning projects. See your JET distributor for a wide variety of JET woodturning tools.
Roughing Gouge - used for rapidly cut raw wood into round stock, see Figure 12.
Deep Fluted Bowl Gouge - used for turning bowls and plates, see Figure 12.
Spindle Gouge - used for turning beads, coves and other details, see Figure 12.
Spear - fine scraping and delicate operations, such as the forming of beads, parallel grooves and shallow vees, etc, see Figure 12.
Skew - used to make vees, beads, etc., see Figure 12.
Square Scraper - used for diameter scraping and featureless scraping, etc, see Figure 12.
Large Domed Scraper - used to reduce ridges on the interior of bowls, round edges of bowls, etc, see Figure 12.
Parting Tool - used to cut directly into the material, or to make a cut off. Also used for scraping and to set diameters, see Figure 12.
For safety and best performance, keep tools sharp. If a tool stops cutting, or requires excessive pressure to make a cut, it needs to be
sharpened. A number of brand name sharpening jigs and fixtures are available, however, a woodturner should learn to sharpen tools freehand.
