Advantages of carbide tools over traditional tools

Are you wondering why you should order Blackline tools? Below you will find a list of the most important advantages over traditional woodturning tools:

• The technique is very easy to learn: you will notice a steep learning curve, so you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun woodturning - right from day one.
• The tools do not become blunt: no time-consuming sharpening or expensive sharpening system is required.
• Other exotic materials can also be processed without any problems, such as acrylic, epoxy resins and even shell pen blanks
• Whether crosscut, longwood or end grain: where otherwise many different tools are required, you only need a set of 4 Blackline tools

4 for all: tools that are sufficient for every project

While there are hundreds of different tools in traditional woodturning, the Blackline Tools focus on 4 simple shapes. These make it possible to turn almost any shape. You can of course find them all in our online shop at Drechselbedarf Schulte!
 

The Blackline parting tool

The Blackline Tools product range is completed by the parting tool. The blade is positioned at the optimum angle for easy work on the centre of the spindle. It is slightly larger than the shank. This means that chips can be removed and do not clog or burn. The result is a cutter that cuts "like butter".

RaZor and carbide blades: no resharpening necessary

Conventional woodturning tools need to be sharpened regularly. This requires a sharpening system with accessories. It also requires some practice. Blackline tools, on the other hand, do not need to be sharpened!
The carbide blades achieve a hardness of 80 Hrc and are suitable for working on any type of wood. The RaZoR blades go even further. They are coated with diamond on one edge and achieve a hardness that has never been seen before in woodturning tools.
RaZoR blades are not only ideal for turning the hardest woods and scantlings made of acrylic, polyester and epoxy resin. They are also suitable for all other conceivable materials such as bone or shells.

The Blackline Tools woodturning knife handle

A handle is included in each of our sets. This grips the tool with a collet and a twist lock. This allows the blades to be changed in no time at all. The handle also works with other blades, of course. The Blackline tools offer collets to grip any steel from 6 to 19 mm.

Conclusion: Are Blackline Tools worth it?

A widespread rumour is that these tools only scrape and therefore cannot produce a clean surface - but this is wrong! The tools have a bevelled edge. This means that if you turn the shaft by 45°, you can easily work with a bevelled edge and cut the wood.
The Blackline tools are not only useful for anyone looking for an alternative to traditional tools. They also excel when used with particularly demanding materials. They are easy to learn and do not lose their sharpness. See these innovative tools for yourself and order your set online today from Drechselbedarf Schulte!
