Introduction
Unprecedented
ease in hollowing, finishing and thin turning make this
tool a must in every turner's arsenal. It will allow you
to do end grain hollowing faster, deeper, and with more
precision than ever before. As a bonus, it's great for
finishing cuts on any flat or curved surface, and because
it really is an end grain tool, pommels on spindles can
be cut so clean it's unbelievable.
The
Termite is made from high speed steel. It is held with a
set screw in a 7½", high strength shank, with
tensile strength of over 110 000 PSI. This assembly is
mounted in a hardwood handle which measures 15½"
long. The total length of this tool is 23" without
the cutting tip inserted in the shank.
Because bits are made from
high speed steel, and we supply an efficient and simple
means of sharpening them, they have a very long life.
Keeping it Sharp
In keeping with ONEWAY policy, not only do we supply a superb
tool, we also supply the means of maintaining the tool. We
include a mounted point dressed to the proper angle and a fixture
to hold the Termite for grinding.
Simply mount the point in your router. Mount the termite in
the fixture and oscillate the inside of the termite around the
mounted point thus precisely recreating the edge as originally
supplied.
