Thread: texturing tool

You can make one with an old hacksaw blade. Old kitchen butter knives, ground to a suitable shape, also work well

Brendan Stemp has a great video on chattering which can be viewed here:

Brendan Stemp » Chattering

He uses butter knives and a few other things, also shows his technique

I use an old jigsaw blade (spring steel) in my multi tip hollowing tool:

The 2 tools you are asking about are 2 different tools in what they do.

They both decorate but in different ways.

The chatter tools as it indicates chatters across the work, have a look here

The texturing tool uses a spiralling style of cutter have a look here

Both are decorating tools and the the speed you use will give you different effects.

Look at these video's from robert sorby

They will give you the idea as most manufacturers work on the same principle

Terry Scott in New Zealand sells a texturing tool, the Timberly Textura. Unfortunately his web site does not have much information at the moment.
