High Speed Cutters
Available in many shapes, high speed cutters are used
in carving, cutting and slotting in wood, plastics and
soft metals such as aluminum, copper and brass.
These are the accessories to use for freehand routing
or carving in wood or plastic, and for precision cut-
ting. Made of high quality steel. 1/8" shank.
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
These are tough, long-lived cutters for use on hard -
ened steel, fired ceramics and other very hard ma -
terials. They can be used for engraving on tools and
garden equipment. 1/8" shanks.
Engraving Cutters
This group has a wide variety of sizes and shapes,
and are made for intricate work on ceramics (green-
ware), wood carvings, jewelry and scrimshaw. They
often are used in making complicat ed printed circuit
boards. They should not be used on steel and other
very hard materials but are excellent on wood, plastic
and soft metals. 1/8" shank.
Structured Tooth
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
Fast cutting, needle-sharp teeth for greater material
removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass,
wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber. 1/8" shank.
Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown)
Round, pointed, flat — you name the shape and there
is one available in this category. These are made of
aluminum oxide and cover virtually every possible
kind of grinding application. Use them for sharpening
lawn mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives, scissors,
chisels and other cutting tools. Use to remove flash
from metal castings, deburring any metal after cutting,
smoothing welded joints, grinding off rivets and re -
mov ing rust. These grinding stones can be resharped
with a dressing stone. In machine shops, high speed
drills and cut ters normally are ground with aluminum
oxide wheels. 1/8" shank.
Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones (blue/green)
Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made
es pecially for use on hard materials such as glass and
ce ramics. Typical uses might be the removal of stilt
marks and excess glaze on ceramics and engraving
on glass. 1/8" shank.
Diamond Wheel Points
Excellent for fine detail work on wood, jade, ceramic,
glass and other hard material. Bits are covered with
diamond particles. 1/8" shanks. (Not recommended
for drilling)
