    It is certainly sharp enough, I'm not sure that the points won't be a bit brittle.
    I haven't tried to fit it to any of my tool holders to see how much clearance there is on the flat sides, they are only 5mm from the side of the hole.

    Today I ground back the tip of the tool holder I got from McJing so I could fit the new Easywood tips to it.

    Here are the pics.

    I'll start a new thread about the piece I tested it on today & I'll link to it shortly.

    Sorry about the focus on the bottom view.

    Burnsy,

    Hmm positive rake tips, they would bite real well.

    Update to this thread.

    Craig has seen my Tassie Oak Burl Platter thread & has offered me a complete tool & handle to review.

    Very generous.

    I have HEAPS of big wet hoop pine to rough out but I'll also dig through my stash & find something else dry & hard too.

    I'll post a link here when I get it happening.

    Good score.

    (I made an offer to Victor to test the Vicmarc hollowing tool rest but he said someone called R. Raffan had already done so.)
    Cheers, Ern

    Good one Cliff
    Does that mean he thinks your handle might have some effect on the useability of the tool?
    We'll await your further critique with interest

    He didn't say BUT... I'd say it was because I can't fit the chip deflector to my tool holder without some modifcations.

    When you use this tool flat on the rest in a scraping action without the chip deflector, all the chips go straight up your nose.

    When I switched over to my gouge, I could 'aim' the chips so they went over my sholder instead.

    I also had problems with the chips bunching up on the head of the screw I used to hold it.

    my new carbide tipped 25mm gouge is a pain in the A%$#e to make , made it out of 25mm tube so a dust exstractor can suck from the end of the handle and braised a large fine grained carbide cutter to the flute , still grinding the flute angles ( with a dremmal )
    how come a 10mm peg dont fit in a 10mm hole
