Your cart is empty.The Easy Wood Tools Full Size Easy Rougher is a replaceable carbide insert woodturning lathe tool that addresses fatigue, safety, and efficiency like no other type of tool on the market. Designed to be kept flat on the tool rest, level to the floor and pushed straight into your work, the Easy Rougher will effortlessly hog away massive amounts of wood. No intimidating cutting angles to learn and remember-cuts left, right and straight in without changing approach angle. This simple approach to turning allows you to learn and master wood turning in no time. The tool design provides support directly beneath the cutting edge transferring the cutting pressure downward allowing the lathe to "take the pounding" that you would normally suffer through when using a conventional bowl gouge for roughing. Requires very little physical strength or exertion, so no more ‘white knuckling’ a bowl gouge. Truly deeper cuts – up to 1 inch off the diameter in one pass with the Full Size Rougher. Maximum reach from tool rest is 4 inches. Super hard Maple handle is 16 inches long with easy grip handle. Solid CNC machined stainless steel tool bar is 8.5 inches long and 1/2 inch square. Overall tool length is 24.5 inches The Full Size Rougher accepts 4 different proprietary carbide cutters: Ci1-R2 (2 inch radius) , Ci1-R4 (4 inch radius), Ci1-SQ (no radius along flat) and our Patented Ci1R2 Negative Rake Carbide Cutter. These carbide cutters have four sharp sides and are easily rotated to expose new sharp edges. You will never need to sharpen again! Cutters are specially designed with the optimal grind, geometry and grade of carbide to excel at woodturning. The rougher comes with a Ci1-R4 square carbide cutter installed and a hex wrench. The Easy Rougher is capable of plunge cuts similar to using a giant parting tool. This type of cut sends massive amounts of material straight back at the operator. Available Chip Deflector keeps most shavings away from the face and neck.

Las Easy Wood Tools son a mi juicio las herramientas para tornear de más fácil uso para aficionados. La calidad es impresionante: nada que ver con imitaciones chinas baratas, que se anuncian en Amazon con el mismo nombre.

Great for roughing out. Really removes the material and is easy to use. (hence the name for the brand). I give it four stars, rather than five, due to the lofty price. It does work well, and is probably worth the $$$.

When I started turning about a year ago, I used the traditional tools and it took a while to get used to the handling technique. Even then I mainly used the skew as a scraper rather than a cutter as I had some catches which were heart stopping! Even though expensive, I decided to try the Easy Wood tools and bough this along with the Ci0 Easy Finisher.What a difference!! The tools are sturdy and cut extremely well. The advantage of the four-sided rougher is that you can cut with either the front edge, or one of the side edges as you move from sideways across the piece.It has increased my confidence at the lathe and reduced my production time, especially since there is no sharpening involved; when you think that the blade has given it's all, you just turn it to the a new side!I know that some traditionalists cringe at the thought of not sharpening, but this is akin to the days when one sharpened a hand saw - tooth by tooth. In my world, time is money and this tool is a time saver, but produces the results that I require.Ignore the initial high price as you make it back in time saved. Well worth it and HIGHLY recommended.

This is an outstanding tool. I have used normal turning tool and they don't hold a candle to this. Really easy to use. Easy to remove a lot of wood as well as to control finer cuts. I will definitely be buying more easy wood tools in the future.

This tool has revolutionized wood turning, with its replaceable carbide cutter. Not only that, but it is a beautifully made and finished tool, one that you feel good about owning and using. And it works extraordinarily well. Go to the Easy Wood Tools' website and check out the videos. No need to worry about sharpening it. When it gets dull--and that takes a long time, since the replaceable cutter is carbide--you just buy another cutter. Easy Rougher does exactly what the name claims, making short work of roughing out a spindle or a bowl blank, while all you have to do is hold it firmly and level on the tool rest. You can use it for a lot of other turning operations too. Its versatility is not limited to roughing. But best of all, Easy Wood Tools has made turning fun again. No catches to worry about, no bevels to rub, no sharpening. Innovation always brings critics, but it is going to be hard to find fault with this tool. Nobody really likes the roughing out process, and here's a tool that claims to make it easy--and delivers. I can envision a new generation of turners who have never experienced a "catch" and don't even own a grinder. Nothing wrong with that. This is, quite simply, a great tool.
