Thread: Round carbide inserts

Brianne, from another forum I use, they all reckon the inserts from AZCarbide seem to be the best. Do a Google search.

Thanks Crocy

I got mine from Timberbits, $55 for a set of 3, roughing, shaping, detail, Sorby's from memory.

Those that you link to are for metal turning and are not suitable for wood. Inserts suitable for wood have very sharp cutting edges, whereas metal machining inserts do not have sharp edges otherwise the edge will break easily.
+1 for AZCarbide and they are on Ebay as well.

Thanks for the AZCarbide link. Perfect for my big sorby chisel.

The 18mm job looks nice.

A friend got hold of some replaceable TC inserts for these new spiral planer /jointer thicknesser cutter heads. Apparently they cost a couple of dollars each. He is happy with them.

here you go , print this out

Thanks for all the help.

If your hollowing through a small opening or making hollow vessels, tight internal curves etc. The bigger the cutter the better that catch The smaller the dia of the cutter the better you are for a lot of mine I use the Rolly Munro 6mm dia cutter.

I get mine from Big Guy Productions (Capt. Eddie Castilin) in the USA, best price around, I use 4mm countersunk set screws instead of the american one he supplies. Been making my own tools for years.

Other sources may be cheaper and maybe better, but I've been satisfied with them.

Equally important is having diamond to resharpen them. Regrind on edge and not on polished top face.

A member here, sje-tools, sells the carbide inserts for jointers and thicknessers at very attractive prices. A lot of members use his products. No affiliation, just passing on the good news.

Brianne,

Have you thought about what your going to use to hold the Cutters? here's the ones I made, using 12mm sq Stainless bar stock. Hand filed then wet dry'd from 180/240/320/400/600/800/1000/1200/1500/2000. also if you o this way, put some dishwashing liquid in the water as helps run smoother.
