Well, thank you, Jeff! We really appreciate your kind words. The 4 jaw chuck you see in my videos is a Vicmarc VM120. I have had very good success with that chuck and would recommend it to anyone. Here's a link to one source for it - www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/100/449/Vicmarc-VM120-Chuck-w-Jaws
Glad to hear you like the tools. The lathe in this video a Jet 14-42. It's a really nice lathe that runs super smooth. I just love turning on it and would highly recommend it.
Hi Kerry Thank you for making such a great and informative video, I got into woodturning earlier this year and I have similar tools and the techniques you explained will be very helpful. A lot of videos the people make at high speed so while they can be interesting they are not very informative like yours was, so thank you from England Michael
Wow Paul thanks for the great comments. We work hard to make things folks really like so this is wonderful to hear! I truly appreciate your kind words and will be sure to tell everyone in our company what you said here. Thanks again, Kerry Harrison
Mr. Harrison, I have had a pretty full compliment of your carbide tools for a few years now and have had a lot of fun using them. After getting back into turning after a very long hiatus, the one thing that stands out is how easy they are to use. The shear tool is a bit trickier but just takes some experimenting. The one thing that you pointed out is sometimes tear out can be a challenge, so when I saw your discussion on speed I was intrigued. I have learned faster is your friend with slow feed on the tool. Much the same as metal working. I wondered if your new plastic tools, which appear to be negative rake scrapers help with tear out as well. Do those fit into existing tool holders or do they require their own special holders? I plan to try them soon! BTW I think your IPM calculation might be off by the factor of PI, and are those recommended speeds applicable but HSS and carbide? The engineer in me just being curious. Love the Simple Tool products!!
Just received the STH and handle today, quite impressed with it I bought the full size probably a little overkill for my Laguna 12 16 Lathe did a little practice with it today on some mystery hardwood I had in the shop came out nice. I will be purchasing more as I like the handle interchangeability. I'm a 67-year-old beginner the turning arena question is what tool next? I thinking the 90 degree.
Glad to hear it's working well for you. Thank you so much for your purchase. The 90 degree detailer is a very useful tool that you will use often. As it happens I just posted a new video highlighting one use for it. Here's a link if you're interested. th-cam.com/video/4ARvyEjEdiA/w-d-xo.html
Yes you sure can. The Simple Shear Cutting Finisher can be use to turn and hollow the entire vessel if desired, or just used as a finishing tool as shown in this video.
Hi Dave, Thank you very much for your compliments regarding our tools, I really appreciate your kind words. We work very hard to make our tools as good as they can possibly be while keeping the prices affordable. The complete line of Simple Wood Turning Tools can be purchased any time on our HarrisonSpecialties website mentioned in the video. Also we are happy to ship to you in Canada. Thanks again, Kerry Harrison
Greetings Mr. Harrison Let me first say from the many Video,s on here You and your tools are MINT thanks. I am from a small area in Ontario Can. Colpoys Bay how do I order the tools you have demonstrated Thanks ....Dave
The best practice is to only cut on one side of the point as much as possible. Catches seem to more likely with plunging straight into the work piece. This causes cutting to occur on both sides of the point simultaneously. As this type of cut gets deeper the likelihood of a catch increases because the cutter and chips become trapped in a slot. To avoid this, cut on one side of the point, then the other side widening the slot as you work your way into the project. This is a great way to remove a lot of material quickly when roughing out the inside of a bowl.
Hello: I just received my set Mid Size Carbides and need to say WOW, First off I was surprised to see how you folks shipped them, TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY, I was figuring on just a box with the tools wrapped in bubble plastic, but when I opened the box, I knew right then that they are going to be QUALITY TOOLS. The feel of the handle, and the weight is AWESOME, and the HARD CASE/PROTECTOR is just great too. I just played with them on a piece of “fire wood” and let me tell you what, I LOVE THE WAY THEY RUN, SO SMOOTH AND EASY TO CONTROL, and for a first time turner (only been turning for 3 weeks) I feel at ease compared to a “standard gouge”, THEY JUST FEEL SAFE(R) IN MY HAND AND ON THE REST. I must say, that I WILL be dealing with you as my experience in the hobby of turning grows, and the need for quality tools does too. Thank you for going above and beyond customer service. Sincerely Paul Flores
+Jeffrey Kumjian Yes you sure can. I recommend the mid size tools for turnings 6" in diameter or less. The full size tools are a better choice if you will be doing projects larger then that.
I purchases a set of the basic 3 and love them all. Wonderful simple easy now I get to spend more time turning and less time sharpening. Yes I will use the original lathe tools but these get the job moving a lot quicker. Thanks for a great video and super tools.
Just purchased your Package of 7. Can't wait to get going on a project. Thank you for the great video instruction. You blew my engineering mind with your speed formula. Circumference = pi x diameter. At 6.5 inch diameter, 440.6 rpm = 9,000 in/min. At 4" - 716 rpm. At 2", 1,432 rpm. At 6.5 inch diameter, 294 rpm = 6,000 in/min. At 4" - 477 rpm. At 2", 955 rpm.

Just bought the shear scrape tool. I already have a set of carbide tools but I’ll be buying yours because they just look very well made.
Well Thank You. We try hard to produce really nice tools so it's good to hear we succeeded.
I have all those cutters you used in this video..Love them!!
Just got the 5 pack and the parting tool. Got it all put together. Looks very nice. Looking forward to learning how to use these chisels.
Most excellent; Learned much...
Glad to hear you like the tools. The lathe in this video a Jet 14-42. It's a really nice lathe that runs super smooth. I just love turning on it and would highly recommend it.
Nice demo. Waiting (not long) til mine arrive, but I'll be ready to go. Thanks
I have most of these tools, including the 90 detailer and absolutely love them. Best carbide tools I've ever worked with.
As the developer of these tools it's really nice to hear you're so satisfied with them. I truly appreciate your kind words! Thank you very much!
I have almost all the tools used in the video, I have the full size set of 3 and the shear cutter. Great tools.

It's a Jet 1642 EVS. It is very quite and super smooth. The folks a Jet really now how to make a lathe.
Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it.
I wish he'd demonstrated the Swan Neck Hollower as I'm on the fence to buy it. Much as I'd like them ALL, I have a budget.

Just turned my first 2 bowls with the rougher and finisher - *wow* such a difference. Curious - what lathe are you using in the videos?
Greetings Mr. Harrison Let me first say from the many Video,s on here You and your tools are MINT thanks. I am from a small area in Ontario Can. Colpoys Bay how do I order the tools you have demonstrated Thanks ....Dave
Can you use the simple shear cutting finisher to do the hollowing of the bowl as well?

Kerry,
Great demo of the Simple tools. What lathe are you using? It is exceptional quiet.
Thanks
What's the difference between the regular set and mid size
When using the 90 degree detailer to try and do the bowl it seems to catch . Any ideas on what am I doing wrong , thanks for you time

Yes Simple Woodturning Tools can be used to turn a drum shell.
do they work on wet,fresh cut logs kerry.regards from the u.k.
where did you buy those tools for turning
Greetings from Germany Mr. Harrison.
Cool Tools... I'd love to try them! Do you ship to Germany also?!?
Yes we sure do ship to Germany. Thanks for the compliment.
What do you mean ? Germany makes the best tools in the world. Or have they stopped ?
KERRY,where can i purchase these tools??? thanks

can you use the Mid Size Package of 4 Carbide Simple Woodturning Tools too do bowls?
+Jeffrey Kumjian Yes you sure can. I recommend the mid size tools for turnings 6" in diameter or less. The full size tools are a better choice if you will be doing projects larger then that.
Hi Kerry can the full size tools be used with 6” or less projects?? It would get expensive to buy both...
On our website www. HarrisonSpecialties.comThank You!!

thinking about geting a new wood lathe powermatic model 3520b thank you for tips
Same tools as Easy Wood Tools. Who was first with the ideal. I have the Easy Wood Tools.
I'm not sure who was the first to make carbide tools. Since you have tools already I guess you're all set.
what kind of lathe is that?
+Eric Clement It's a Jet 1642 EVS
