The Easy Wood Tools Detailers are typically used to create fine lines on a turning. They can also be used to shape tiny details in objects like finials.

 

The Detailers come in two configurations.

The Easy Detailer, which uses the standard Ci4 cutter or the negative rake Ci4-NR cutter

And the Easy Micro Detailer, which uses the Ci7 cutter or the negative rake Ci7-NR cutter

 

This short video from Craft Supplies USA demonstrated the Easy Detailer

 

This video, from Tracey Malady uses the Easy Detailer and Micro Detailer to help shape a finial-

When using this tool, the best surface is created by having only one side of the cutter in contact with the material, at a time, as the cutter goes deeper into the turning.

 

New Turning Items-
