THE WOODTURNING REVOLUTION IS HERE WITH ULTRA-SHEAR

Creating beautiful turned pens starts with carefully preparing the

turning blank. Every pen kit on the market includes a brass insert

tube that must be glued into the blank. Then the blank needs to be

trimmed perpendicular to and perfectly flush with both ends of the

insert tube. The trimming process is fundamentally important to

great results. Now Woodpeckers® have introduced the Ultra-Shear

Introducing Woodpeckers® Ultra-Shear Pen Mill

Carbide insert turning tools are typically used with the tool on the
centreline of the lathe, held horizontal to the ground. Ultra-Shear
tools use this approach for roughing and shaping cuts. But Ultra-Shear
goes further. After initial shaping, roll the tool right or left and you
will feel the tool land on another bearing plane, 45º from horizontal.
With the tool at this angle, the wood fibres slice cleanly, leaving a
surface that needs little or no sanding. Ultra-Shear makes shear
scraping so simple even beginners can do it.

Pen Mill, that effortlessly cuts every material pen turners use...

and through mountains of pen blanks. The Ultra-Shear Pen Mill

uses 4-sided razor-sharp nano-grain carbide inserts mounted in a

precision-machined milling head, that’s large enough to trim 19mm

pen blanks whilst accepting a wide range of Pilot Reamers to cater

for your particular pen kit.

Love turning but hate sharpening?

Eliminate the drudgery of sharpening

by using nano-grain carbide inserts

mounted to induction-hardened

alloy steel shafts.
