Designed by Richard Raffan
Richard
began woodturning in 1970 and can be described as one of the
world's foremost authorities on this craft. Drawing on his vast
experience Richard has designed a range of tools whish are produced
from heavy section materials, with particular attention given
to the curved cutting edge shapes. The tools are safe to use
because the thick material does not flex thus reducing the chance
of catches. The curved cutting edges are less prone to catches
and much enhance the versatility and controlled performance
of the tools. |
Raffan books
and videos describing and demonstrating his techniques and tool section
are available world wide. |

Parting Tool developed by Kip Christensen
This
narrow parting tool is ideal for working with the hard dense
woods used in boxes and tops. It produces a shearing cut and
a flat smooth surface.
3b.
Beading Tools re-introduced by Dale Nish.
These
traditional tools overcome the problems of forming precise
and consistent beads on small boxes, bases etc. The top
of the tool only should be honed to preserve the shape.

HSS Turning Tools by Ray Key. -
3/8" & 1/2" HSS Modified Spindle Gouges
Used mainly for making boxes, from hard dense end grain material.
Internal hollowing from the centre is made easy with short stubby
60/65° angle, this allows for a strong vibration free pivot
cutting action, as the bevel can be rubbed for much of the time.
For outside shaping the long side grind is used with the bevel
rubbing , the tool is pulled along the material. Quality of
surface obtained is the equivelent of a skew chisel, but is
much better than a skew on duifficult woods. This tool is also
used for refined shaping of the outside of small bowls. Used
correctly the bevel rubs with a slicing cut action and leaves
a very clean tool finish, no scraping is required. end grain
hollowing on softer woods and larger work is best done with
the 1/2" gouge. The end / side cutting scraper is made
from a 3/4" square end scraper. This is used to true up
gouge ripples in the base of flat bottomed boxes and to true
up the side walls. The 1/2" skew is one that has a much
longer angle than normal, it is used more like a sheer scraper
is used for the truing up of gouge ripples in the base of soft
curved boxes, goblets, egg cups etc. The modified straight across
the grind make it much easier to remove the nipple or pimple
often foound in such items when the rounded end ones are used.
