Looking at this it seems to be a worthwhile tool, especially for me who is relatively useless at sharpening my gouges, $14 replacement tips are reasonable.
My query would be the claim that you can rotate the tip to obtain four fresh cutting surfaces. I watched Stu's video and the one on the C1 site and both seem to be cutting with not only the front face but the left and right face as well. Unless this is just an illusion of the video, I would summise therefore that you would only get one actual rotataion (180 degrees) that would give you a totally fresh cutting face.
Am I correct here Stu or is it just the way it looks on the videos?

This tool looks gummed up, but at this stage is still cuts well!
The one corner is chipped, yep, I took a nice chunk out of my chuck jaws

So I am correct then? You are using the corners heavily and as such will only get one 180 degree rotation out of the cutter?
Cheers,
Mike

I guess you could say that, but that is also one of the things that sets this tool apart from any "Scraper" it has a primary and a secondary cutting edge but there are also four corners on the insert.....

BEWARE THE FREIGHT COST TO AUS.....
I thought I'd try the tips out on a similar tool holder that I already have.
I ordered 3 tips & one or the flash plastic chip deflectors.
You don't find out what the freight is going to cost until you have placed the order & paid for it.
Some time later you get an e-mail to go to a site to pay for the freight, it has cost me $35.62AUD for postage of 3 tips & a chip deflector that cost $72.79 AUD.
Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

If there was sufficient interest maybe we could do a bulk order and amortise the freight component, cause the freight component can be a killer as Cliff notes

Maybe if people jst want tips and are making their own shafts and handles you would be better finding a local tool maker who can make or source a batch of TCT tips. Originally Posted by Sawdust Maker

Cliff, who did you order from?
If you order directly from Craig, at www.easywoodtools.com you might do better on the shipping?

So how do you sharpen the tips?
From reading in the forum, seems a green wheel is needed, or maybe a cheap drill-mounted diamond wheel ... ?Cheers, Ern

Yeah, I get some gear from time to time from the US and shipping charges seem to vary a lot, from twenty to sixty USD apparently regardless of weight or bulk or shipping mode.

Well Cliff, I paid exactly the same in USD for my shipping to Japan for my stuff.
At least that is the exact amount that Craig paid the US post office, so I'd not be POed at Craig, but at the Post Office
The only thing more I can add, is that the shipping of the same sized box from Japan to the US would be nearly DOUBLE, yes, you read that right, almost twice the price to ship the same thing from Japan to the US compared to the US to Japan, go figure
Look forward to your review and impression.
Cheers!It's a Family thing.....

I've ordered a fair few things from overseas over the last 8 to 10 years... the shipping costs vary heaps.
Amazon seem to be able to ship a pile of books that are much bigger & heavier than what I ordered for less than that.

Well, I'm just taking a guess here, but I'd bet that a HUGE company like Amazon gets a real break on shipping from the post office and USP/FedEx etc, while Craig is a start up business run by his wife and himself out of their home, so they most likely do not get a great deal on the shipping.

I noticed that >> Craft Supply USA << has picked up this tool, so maybe you could cut the shipping costs by including the Ci1 Easy Rougher with some other kit for your addiction
Just a thought.
I'll be trying a big Natural Edge rough out soon, I'll be video taping it, so we can see how it works in that setting.
