Easy Roughers

The Easy Rougher is a carbide cutter woodturning tool that addresses fatigue, safety, and efficiency like no other type of tool on the market. Designed to be kept flat on the tool rest and level to the floor, the Easy Rougher will effortlessly hog away massive amounts of material for any woodturning process - without the need for sharpening. The tool design provides support directly beneath the cutting edge, thus transferring the cutting pressure downward. This allows the lathe to "take the pounding" that you would normally suffer when using a conventional bowl gouge for roughing. No more ‘white knuckling’ a bowl gouge!

• Cuts left, right and straight in without changing approach angle

• Truly deeper cuts – up to 25mm off the diameter in one pass with the Full Size Rougher.
• Requires very little physical strength or exertion
• Your feet and hips stay in nearly the same position for the blank roughing process.
• Very minimal handle bouncing on irregular shaped blanks
• Reduced kick-back or sucking into work piece
• Available Chip Deflector keeps most projectiles away from the face and neck
• No intimidating cutting angles to learn and remember
• No bevels to ride, no fear of a dangerous catch

The handles are produced from American Rock Maple and stained red so are easily identified as the roughing tools, with a copper rather than brass ferrule and the laser-cut stainless-steel bar means that you never have to worry about your tools rusting ever again. The micro, mini and midi rougher have 9.5mm (3/8in) bars while the full and pro-size tools have 12.7mm (1/2in) bar.
